Fresh fish and chips in Sole Street
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Sole Street
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for seaside-themed weddings and food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like Sole Street frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Where the van can park in Sole Street
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Questions from Sole Street
Can the van park in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Room?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What does the van 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.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a summer wedding in Sole Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm 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 is dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
