How our wedding fish and chip van works in Staples Corner
We park close to the reception, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Whether it is garden and marquee receptions and weddings with a seaside feel, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Couples in Staples Corner often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
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 is crisp when it reaches you.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Staples Corner
What about parking in Staples Corner?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How do you handle 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.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Staples Corner?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing has been out for hours. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. At a December wedding in Staples Corner, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Name one person we can call on the day
