How our wedding fish and chip van works in Stamford Hill
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s usually somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include relaxed, informal receptions and second-day and after-party food, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
London weddings around Stamford Hill often mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. We need off-road parking near the reception. Plan this early with your venue. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What else we do in Stamford Hill
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs

- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Step by step
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a summer wedding in Stamford Hill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm 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 is dark by about 3:55pm.

Can the van park in Abney Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can the van park on grass?

What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
