Wedding fish and chip van in Maidenhead, cooked to order
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it’s most welcome. We are frequently asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and pre-wedding get-togethers, with mushy peas, cod and chips and curry sauce.
A wedding in Maidenhead might mean a ceremony at a local church followed by a reception in a garden, marquee or hall. That suits a chip van perfectly: we park close to the reception. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Maidenhead, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Common questions in Maidenhead
What’s the nearest station to Maidenhead?
The closest is Maidenhead station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Could you trade in Braywick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
