Wedding fish and chip van in Upper Heyford, cooked to order
Evening wedding food from a fish and chip van is a favourite. Hours after the wedding breakfast, guests are ready to eat again, and fish and chips from the hatch is exactly what they want. Typical bookings include vow renewal parties and pre-wedding get-togethers, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Upper Heyford, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We park close by for evening food. Let us know about access for the van. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Questions from Upper Heyford
Can you serve after a service at Heyford Park Chapel?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Upper Heyford close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
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.
Will guests take photos at the van?
It typically ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put bins near the van
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
