Wedding fish and chip van in Stanmore, fried fresh
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Typical bookings include weddings with a seaside feel and barn weddings, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In Stanmore, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
Stanmore is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Stanmore questions
What about parking in Stanmore?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
