Wedding fish and chip van in Stonehill Green, fried fresh
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. By nine o’clock, guests are hungry again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We are frequently asked to cater garden and marquee receptions and barn and farm weddings, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Rural weddings around Stonehill Green have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

FAQs for Stonehill Green
We are gathering after a service at St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Stonehill Green from London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Evening fish and chips
