Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Aston Tirrold
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We’re often asked to cater barn weddings and anniversary celebrations, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Near Aston Tirrold, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
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:
- The day of the week
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Aston Tirrold: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
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. Send us the address.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What time will you serve?
Generally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We will fit your running order.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter weddings in Aston Tirrold are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
