Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Stockbridge
Is Stockbridge too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Stockbridge close to London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Stockbridge, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
