Wedding fish and chip van in Wallingford
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wedding.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Barn, marquee and garden weddings suit a chip van perfectly, because there’s often a yard or track close to the party. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee and garden weddings and wedding after-parties.

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.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the event is
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
