Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- Any dietary needs and allergies

Begbroke: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Begbroke?
The closest is Oxford Parkway station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How far is Begbroke from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Talk to us about evening numbers
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
