How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
Send us the date, the address or OX27 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Winter weddings in Poundon are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Poundon?
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Poundon hosts choose us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Something for guests to gather round
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Quick service from the hatch

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Poundon? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Evening fish and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Common questions in Poundon
Is Poundon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Poundon from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
