Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Rotherfield Peppard
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. For day-after gatherings and evening food for day and evening guests, we can cook curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Rotherfield Peppard frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Common questions in Rotherfield Peppard
What’s the nearest station to Rotherfield Peppard?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
How far is Rotherfield Peppard from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Do you come to Rotherfield Peppard?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Rotherfield Peppard is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
The menu, dish by dish
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.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. For a summer wedding in Rotherfield Peppard, the sun sets at about 9:25pm 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’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We set up during the reception and start frying at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Clear the route for the van
