Wedding fish and chip van for Stick Hill events

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Stick Hill
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and we’re frequently booked for barn and farm weddings and day-after gatherings.
A wedding in a small place like Stick Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Put bins near the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wedding. Evening food at a Stick Hill wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Ensure the van can get in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
