How our wedding fish and chip van works in Baker's Wood
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and garden and marquee receptions, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Baker's Wood, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

What affects the price in Baker's Wood
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us

- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Where the event is

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Questions from Baker's Wood
Do you come out to small places like Baker's Wood?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Baker's Wood close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.

Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
