Fresh fish and chips in Adstock
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Adstock
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it’s evening food for day and evening guests and day-after gatherings, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
A wedding in a small place like Adstock frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Questions from Adstock
Is Adstock too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Cecilia: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
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.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That’s up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Adstock, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in
