How our wedding fish and chip van works in Wennington
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. We are often asked to cater relaxed, informal receptions and barn and farm weddings, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Couples in Wennington frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. We need off-road parking near the reception. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Wennington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
