Wedding fish and chip van in Stonor, cooked to order
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. Typical bookings include marquee and garden weddings and weddings with a seaside feel, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural weddings around Stonor have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Questions from Stonor
We are gathering after a service at Pishill Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Generally most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count suppliers working late
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
