- Collect allergies with your RSVPs

- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Upper Holloway
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For day-after gatherings and engagement parties, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
In Upper Holloway, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We plan the timings around your day, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Space, access and the venue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Upper Holloway
Could you trade in Whittington Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Andrew's Whitehall Park?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
