Wedding fish and chip van for Walthamstow Village events
Wedding fish and chip van in Walthamstow Village, cooked to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. We serve curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for second-day and after-party food and marquee and garden weddings.
Couples in Walthamstow Village often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day

- Do not forget your suppliers
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

Walthamstow Village: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Lloyd Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. Most couples go for just after the first dance.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

At midsummer, sunset in Walthamstow Village is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
