Wedding fish and chip van for Loxford events
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At a December wedding in Loxford, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Takeaway run or book a van?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Loxford questions
Could you trade in Loxford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.

Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
