How wedding fish and chip van works in Oxfordshire

Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. People chat in the queue and come back with full hands. We are frequently asked to cater barn weddings and engagement parties, with curry sauce, cod and chips and sausage and chips.

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What you get with us

  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • No surprises in your quote

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal.

Questions to ask before booking

  • A clear list of what’s included
  • How many hours the van serves
  • When final numbers are due
  • Whether there is a minimum

Planners, venues and businesses

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Parking and the way in
  • The length of service
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The menu and how many choices

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The address or venue name
  • A photo of the parking spot

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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 solves that by cooking on site.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
