Wedding fish and chip van in Stone Cross
How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Stone Cross wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Count suppliers working late
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Stone Cross questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far is Stone Cross from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
For evening food with a bit of fun, a chip van is hard to beat. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?

- A van that becomes part of the event
