Common questions in Ascott d'Oyley
What’s the nearest station to Ascott d'Oyley?
Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Ascott d'Oyley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
After service, we pack up quietly and let the dancing carry on.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the space and the way in

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
