About our wedding fish and chip van in Stanwell Moor
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. We are frequently asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and seaside-themed weddings, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.
There is something special about a country wedding near Stanwell Moor, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day

A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
