Wedding fish and chip van in Oxshott, fried fresh
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is generally somewhere firm for the van to park nearby. We’re frequently asked to cater vow renewals and anniversaries and day-after gatherings, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a smaller place like Oxshott, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a firm spot and access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done and before the party really gets going.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In Oxshott, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
