Wedding fish and chip van in Parker's Green, fried fresh
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. For anniversary celebrations and barn and farm weddings, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural weddings around Parker's Green have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Where the van can park in Parker's Green
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At a December wedding in Parker's Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Organising for someone else?

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing has been out for hours. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
