Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Kingston Stert
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. Typical bookings include engagement celebrations and laid-back receptions, with curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural weddings around Kingston Stert have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Kingston Stert

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Cod and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Kingston Stert, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
