Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Burford
The smell of fish and chips drifting across the reception does the inviting. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include day-after gatherings and pre-wedding get-togethers, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In Burford, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. In Burford, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
