Wedding fish and chip van for Godstow events
About our wedding fish and chip van in Godstow
Evening food keeps the party going, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips after a long day. We are frequently asked to cater engagement parties and barn and farm weddings, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural weddings around Godstow have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Godstow, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm 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 in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
