Wedding fish and chip van in Stratford, fried fresh
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for barn weddings and vow renewal parties.
For a wedding in Stratford, think about where a catering van can stop. Ask your venue about a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Stratford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
