Wedding fish and chip van in Upper Walthamstow
Wedding fish and chip van in Upper Walthamstow, cooked to order
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. Whether it’s day-after gatherings and pre-wedding get-togethers, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In Upper Walthamstow, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Upper Walthamstow is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. At a December wedding in Upper Walthamstow, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
