Wedding fish and chip van for Eynsham events
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Eynsham, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

About our wedding fish and chip van in Eynsham
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there’s often a yard or track close to the party. Popular choices include sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we are often booked for pre-wedding get-togethers and seaside-themed weddings.
Weddings in a place like Eynsham frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Let us know about access for the van. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

FAQs for Eynsham
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Leonard?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Eynsham from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
For event organisers in Eynsham
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Any minimum charge
