Cold Harbour: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Saint Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Cold Harbour from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do children eat?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host isn’t stuck cooking all afternoon. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
