About our wedding fish and chip van in Upper Edmonton
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater relaxed, informal receptions and evening wedding food.
For a wedding in Upper Edmonton, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Will guests take photos at the van?
