How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Parking and the way in
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wedding in Iffley. In Iffley, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is often 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.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before booking
- Hot food handed straight over
- All the chip-shop extras
- Something for guests to gather round
Take a look at how we price and our guide to van hire costs.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Iffley
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in South Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Can you park near the barn?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
