Wedding fish and chip van in Woodside Park, cooked to order
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We serve curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for vow renewals and anniversaries and seaside-themed weddings.
In Woodside Park, parking for suppliers is part of the plan. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Woodside Park 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.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

Woodside Park: your questions answered
What about parking in Woodside Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at Saint Barnabas' Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will fit your running order.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
