Step by step
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. At a December wedding in Oakfield, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

- The site’s agreement to a catering van
For somewhere as remote as Oakfield, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Common questions in Oakfield
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: 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. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Oakfield?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How much does a fish and chip van for your wedding cost in Oakfield?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we will send a quote.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. Send us a photo of the spot.
For event organisers in Oakfield
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
