Golden-hour photos in Bloxham at midsummer come around 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Wedding fish and chip van in Bloxham, fried fresh
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and anniversary celebrations.
In Bloxham, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Food your guests will love

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Bloxham
How far is Bloxham from London?
About 65 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Bloxham?
Banbury station, about 3.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
What time is best for the van?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
