Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or OX7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Evening food at a Church Enstone wedding often 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For evening food with a bit of fun, a fish and chip van is a great choice at a wedding in Church Enstone. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
