Wedding fish and chip van in Coldharbour, fried fresh
Once the fryers are on, guests find the van on their own. The queue becomes a place to catch up. Typical bookings include vow renewal parties and garden and marquee receptions, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Couples in Coldharbour frequently hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. In London, check vehicle access with the venue early. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. At a December wedding in Coldharbour, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Flag coeliac guests early
