Wedding fish and chip van for Lower Heyford events
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Lower Heyford, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

About our wedding fish and chip van in Lower Heyford
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most book it for the evening, when it really comes into its own. For barn and farm weddings and seaside-themed weddings, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
A wedding in a small place like Lower Heyford frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
For event organisers in Lower Heyford
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Questions from Lower Heyford
Is Lower Heyford close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
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’ll send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
