How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Evening food at a South Stoke wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day

Questions from South Stoke
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like South Stoke?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to South Stoke?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including South Stoke. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Normally most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
What else we do in South Stoke
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Put bins near the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before booking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
