Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Stockcross
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is normally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Whether it’s anniversary celebrations and coastal-themed receptions, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
Rural weddings around Stockcross have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cover Stockcross and the whole of West Berkshire

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Stockcross: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Stockcross?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Stockcross close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you come to Stockcross?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Stockcross is within our area and the rest of West Berkshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
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.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
