Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in St Ann's Green
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. We’re frequently asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and engagement celebrations, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
A wedding in a small place like St Ann's Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.

Common questions in St Ann's Green
How far is St Ann's Green from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like St Ann's Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
