Fresh fish and chips in Tottenham Hale

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Whether it is seaside-themed weddings and evening wedding food, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips for your guests.

London weddings around Tottenham Hale 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. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Make sure we have someone to call on the day
  • Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
  • Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
  • Ask about dietary needs on the invitation

Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.

A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.

Planning the van’s spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A short walk from the party

As a London location, Tottenham Hale is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Working with your venue

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Tottenham Hale? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

How it works

Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Tottenham Hale, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, 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.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Tottenham Hale

What about parking in Tottenham Hale?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Can the van park in Bruce Castle Park?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

What areas do you cover?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tottenham Hale.

What does the van need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Can the van park on grass?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

What about guests who don’t eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
