Wedding fish and chip van in Stone in Oxney, fried fresh
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. We are frequently asked to cater day-after gatherings and coastal-themed receptions, with curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Rural weddings around Stone in Oxney 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. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Can’t 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’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
