Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Skinners Green
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For seaside-themed weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
Near Skinners Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Skinners Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Skinners Green?
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Skinners Green: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Michael: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van come to Skinners Green?
We do. Skinners Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
