- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Wedding fish and chip van in North Oxford, fried fresh
Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there is frequently a yard or track close to the party. For marquee and garden weddings and informal weddings, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
In North Oxford, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The van parks on a firm spot nearby for the evening. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What else we do in North Oxford
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

How far is North Oxford from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How many evening guests should we cater for?

Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count suppliers working late
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a summer wedding in North Oxford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
