About our wedding fish and chip van in Binsey

Binsey questions
Could you trade in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Can you park near the barn?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

What else we do in Binsey
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Binsey, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in
