Fresh fish and chips in Woodlands
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Woodlands
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We’re frequently asked to cater informal weddings and garden and marquee receptions, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In Woodlands, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Flag coeliac guests early
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.

Step by step
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Evening food at a Woodlands 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. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Woodlands is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Woodlands
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about parking in Woodlands?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
