About our wedding fish and chip van in Bure Park
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We’re frequently asked to cater informal weddings and vow renewal parties, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Weddings in a place like Bure Park frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

The process
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. In Bure Park, 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. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Perfect for your wedding in Bure Park
It’s ideal for outdoor and rustic weddings, where there is room to park the van close by.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Bure Park, people book us for events such as:
- Second-day and after-party food
- Barn weddings
- Coastal-themed receptions
- Marquee and garden weddings
Marrying at Emmanuel Church Bicester? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.

Bure Park: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Emmanuel Church Bicester?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Bure Park?
Bicester North station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you cover Bure Park?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bure Park and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you park near the barn?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- Service time
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Put bins near the van
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
