Wedding fish and chip van in Goodley Stock, cooked to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. Typical bookings include seaside-themed weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, with curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Goodley Stock frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is fried fresh at your wedding, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
