Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Count children separately
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let your neighbours know
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Autumn and winter parties in Coldharbour get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.

Coldharbour questions
Could you trade in Mudchute Park and Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
