How our wedding fish and chip van works in Rise Park
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so the food fits your running order. Whether it’s laid-back receptions and day-after gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a wedding in Rise Park, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Count suppliers working late
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
How the day works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Rise Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
