The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Sausage and chips

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

Wedding fish and chip van in Fyfield, cooked to order

The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It becomes a lovely moment in the evening. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for barn and farm weddings and informal weddings.

Rural weddings around Fyfield 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. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What a fish and chip van costs

These are the factors that matter most:

  • The number of meals
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Access and parking
  • The length of service

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Where the event is
  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your wedding in Fyfield, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Ask your venue about catering vans first
  • Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
  • Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
  • Include the band, photographer and venue staff

Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.

Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

Fyfield questions

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?

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.

Do you come out to small places like Fyfield?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

Do you come to Fyfield?

Yes, we do. We serve events in Fyfield and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Events we cater in Fyfield

Step by step

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Fyfield, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Getting a price

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
