About our wedding fish and chip van in Cray's Pond
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We’re often asked to cater informal weddings and vow renewals and anniversaries, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural weddings around Cray's Pond have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 normally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In Cray's Pond, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, 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 is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day

Cray's Pond questions
Do you come out to small places like Cray's Pond?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Cray's Pond?
The closest is Goring & Streatley station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
