About our wedding fish and chip van in Weston Otmoor
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Typical bookings include vow renewals and anniversaries and garden and marquee receptions, serving curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Weston Otmoor, and fish and chips at dusk adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wedding, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Golden-hour photos in Weston Otmoor at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Questions from Weston Otmoor
Do you come out to small places like Weston Otmoor?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
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.
