How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Winter weddings in Roxbourne are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Roxbourne
Good evening food keeps people on the dance floor, and few things are as welcome as hot fish and chips late in the evening. For weddings in a marquee or garden and laid-back receptions, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
London weddings around Roxbourne frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Can you park near the barn?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will agree the spot in advance.

How many evening guests should we cater for?

What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
