About our wedding fish and chip van in Stone
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Whether it’s evening food for day and evening guests and barn weddings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce and more.
For a smaller place like Stone, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a firm spot and access. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
A chip van compared with other options

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
