How our wedding fish and chip van works in Ewelme
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. We are frequently asked to cater weddings with a seaside feel and marquee and garden weddings, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A chip van compared with other options
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal, and guests eat where they like. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- We cover Ewelme and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No kitchen needed
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a summer wedding in Ewelme, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Ewelme
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Ewelme from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?

Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
