About our wedding fish and chip van in Kiddington
A fish and chip van is one of the most popular choices for evening wedding food. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and hot fish and chips hits the spot. We’re often asked to cater weddings in a marquee or garden and seaside-themed weddings, serving curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Kiddington, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Evening food at a Kiddington wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:30pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

Kiddington questions
Which station is closest to Kiddington?
The closest is Charlbury station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Is Kiddington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
