How our wedding fish and chip van works in Chipping Norton
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is typically somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and food after the first dance.
Weddings in a place like Chipping Norton 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. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your wedding. Winter weddings in Chipping Norton are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:30pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Don’t forget your suppliers
