How our wedding fish and chip van works in Temple Fortune
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. On the menu are cod and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and anniversaries and wedding after-parties.
For a wedding in Temple Fortune, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. 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.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Put bins near the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At a December wedding in Temple Fortune, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Temple Fortune
What’s the nearest station to Temple Fortune?
The closest is Brent Cross West station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can the van park in Princes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
