Fresh fish and chips in Middle Claydon

How our wedding fish and chip van works in Middle Claydon

Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. For evening wedding food and anniversary celebrations, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce.

There is something special about a country wedding near Middle Claydon, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Questions from Middle Claydon

Is Middle Claydon too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

What food do you serve?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

How many portions do we need?

Generally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.

Do we need to provide equipment?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

What areas do you cover?

How it works

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter weddings in Middle Claydon are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

  • Have bins ready for paper and trays
  • Talk to us about evening numbers
  • Don’t forget your suppliers
  • Make sure we have someone to call on the day

Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.

Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
