About our wedding fish and chip van in Long Wittenham
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it is most welcome. We serve cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for evening food for day and evening guests and day-after gatherings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Long Wittenham, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Long Wittenham questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Long Wittenham?
Appleford station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you come to Long Wittenham?
We do. We serve events in Long Wittenham and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Why book our van in Long Wittenham
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Long Wittenham
- Quick service from the hatch
- A clear quote before you book
- A van that becomes part of the event
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

- We check access for the van and quote.
