Wedding fish and chip van for Edgehill events
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:

Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Wedding fish and chip van in Edgehill, fried fresh
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We’re often asked to cater vow renewal parties and informal weddings, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Near Edgehill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Edgehill questions
Is Edgehill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Can the van come to Edgehill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Edgehill and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

A chip van compared with other options
Formal evening food costs more and slows the party down. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What else we do in Edgehill
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Edgehill, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 usually simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
