A fish and chip van or other catering?
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed, and guests eat where they like. 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.
Why us?
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Milton-under-Wychwood

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Do not forget your suppliers
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. For a summer wedding in Milton-under-Wychwood, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Milton-under-Wychwood questions
Is Milton-under-Wychwood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Simon and St Jude: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
