About our wedding fish and chip van in St Clement's
We park close to the reception, and guests drift out to queue and chat. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater rustic farm weddings and laid-back receptions.
In St Clement's, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Questions from St Clement's
Which station is closest to St Clement's?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at St Clement's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How do you handle allergies?
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.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing sits out drying up. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- The date and time of year
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At a December wedding in St Clement's, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
