Wedding fish and chip van in Chesterton, fried fresh
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater day-after gatherings and marquee and garden weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Chesterton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
FAQs for Chesterton
Which station is closest to Chesterton?
The closest is Bicester Village station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Chesterton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Chesterton wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
