Wedding fish and chip van for Cold Harbour events
Wedding fish and chip van in Cold Harbour, fried fresh
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most use it for evening food, when it is most welcome. For second-day and after-party food and coastal-themed receptions, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce.
Rural weddings around Cold Harbour have a magic of their own, and evening fish and chips adds to it. Plan access and a back-up spot in case of rain. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, sunset in Cold Harbour is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

What affects the price in Cold Harbour
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
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.

To speed things up, tell us:
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Cold Harbour questions
Is Cold Harbour close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Saint Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We will fit around your first dance and band.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
