Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Count suppliers working late
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
How our wedding fish and chip van works in Leafield
Timings are planned with you and the venue, so service fits around the first dance, the cake and the band. We are often asked to cater evening food for day and evening guests and second-day and after-party food, with curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Rural weddings around Leafield have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A chip van compared with other options
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Leafield, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Ensure the van can get in

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Service time
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
FAQs for Leafield
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Leafield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
