Fresh fish and chips in Stubbles
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Wedding fish and chip van in Stubbles, cooked to order
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. Whether it’s second-day and after-party food and evening wedding food, we can cook mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Stubbles frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. 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, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
