About our wedding fish and chip van in Woodside
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and evening wedding food, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a wedding in Woodside, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which is ideal for the van. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Details that help

- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Woodside is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a summer wedding in Woodside, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
