Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Steeple Aston
Which station is closest to Steeple Aston?

Is Steeple Aston close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll check access with you and the venue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
