Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Weald
Is Weald close to London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Weald?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you come to Weald?
We do. We serve events in Weald and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, fish and chips is hot and fresh, and nothing has been out for hours. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Your choice of menu

Where the van can park in Weald
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Weald
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips

- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Evening food at a Weald wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:30pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
