FAQs for Stanwell
Is Stanwell close to London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will fit around your first dance and band.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
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 do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch

For a summer wedding in Stanwell, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Count suppliers working late
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have plenty of guests.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
