How our wedding fish and chip van works in Stonehill
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and barn weddings, with curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Stonehill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Stonehill
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Stonehill?
Longcross station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Stonehill.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, sunset in Stonehill is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
