Wedding fish and chip van in Stoke Row, fried fresh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s frequently a yard or track close to the party. Whether it’s marquee and garden weddings and informal weddings, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips and more.
Near Stoke Row, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Stoke Row?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Hot food handed straight over
- Rain does not stop the fryers

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding

- Travel, tolls and road charges
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Stoke Row? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Winter weddings in Stoke Row are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
