Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Strood Green
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. We serve curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for evening food for day and evening guests and engagement celebrations.
A wedding in a small place like Strood 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. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Strood Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
