Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Winchmore Hill
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For evening food for day and evening guests and laid-back receptions, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a wedding in Winchmore Hill, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, Winchmore Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Winchmore Hill
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Step by step
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 right on schedule. Evening food at a Winchmore Hill wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand

Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Winchmore Hill questions
Could you trade in Grovelands Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Winchmore Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
