Book the van in Fox
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Fox
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. We are often asked to cater engagement parties and seaside-themed weddings, serving mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Fox, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Fox, 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 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Fox: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
When should evening food go out?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
