Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Tetsworth
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Popular choices include mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater vow renewal parties and evening food for day and evening guests.
Rural weddings around Tetsworth have a magic of their own, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan a firm back-up spot if the field is wet. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Tetsworth questions
Which station is closest to Tetsworth?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What time will you serve?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
