Wedding fish and chip van in The Burroughs, fried fresh
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for weddings in a marquee or garden and barn weddings.
London weddings around The Burroughs 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. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
The Burroughs is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
