Details that help
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Roughly how many people, including children
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Put bins near the van
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and leave you to the party.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day

Common questions in Sarsden
Which station is closest to Sarsden?
Kingham station, about 2.2 miles west of the centre.
Is Sarsden too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
