Fresh fish and chips in Woodford Wells
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Woodford Wells
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. We serve curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and pre-wedding get-togethers.
In Woodford Wells, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

FAQs for Woodford Wells
Can you serve after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Usually most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Do you cover Woodford Wells?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Woodford Wells is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Put bins near the van
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Woodford Wells, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Planning help
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The spot you have in mind for the van
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Where the van can park in Woodford Wells
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Woodford Wells is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
