How our wedding fish and chip van works in Totteridge
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for food after the first dance and seaside-themed weddings.
In Totteridge, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wedding.

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Totteridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is 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’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

What else we do in Totteridge
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Totteridge: your questions answered
Is Totteridge close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Totteridge.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
