Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Tiddington
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. We’re often asked to cater garden and marquee receptions and rustic farm weddings, with curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Tiddington frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. At midsummer, sunset in Tiddington is about 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Questions from Tiddington
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Helen: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Tiddington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why choose wedding fish and chip van in Tiddington?
Couples choose a fish and chip van because it’s relaxed and fun. The hatch becomes a meeting point.
These are some of the bookings we take:
- Barn and farm weddings

Marrying at Church of St Helen? A reception at a garden, barn or hall close by gives the van somewhere to park for the evening.

- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
