Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Hinksey Hill
Can the van park in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Hinksey Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you cover Hinksey Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Hinksey Hill. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can you park near the barn?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. A picture of the area helps.
