Why choose a fish and chip van in Jericho?
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book our van in Jericho
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Quick service from the hatch
- Something for guests to gather round

Wedding fish and chip van in Jericho, fried fresh
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for vow renewal parties and food after the first dance.
A farm or garden wedding near Jericho suits a chip van. We need a firm spot and access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Step by step
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, sunset in Jericho is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

FAQs for Jericho
Could you trade in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Jericho?
Oxford station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
How many portions do we need?
Normally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you do our evening wedding food?

Nearby historic houses include Holywell Manor, Oxford (0.9 miles east). Historic houses and estates frequently have rules on catering vans, so check early if that’s your venue.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Count suppliers working late
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
