The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In Bletchingdon, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
