Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. 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. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Stratfield Saye
Which station is closest to Stratfield Saye?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St. Mary the Virgin?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can the van come to Stratfield Saye?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Stratfield Saye is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
