Wedding fish and chip van in Coleshill
About our wedding fish and chip van in Coleshill
A chip van is at home at barn, marquee and garden weddings, because there is often a yard or track close to the party. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for food after the first dance and rustic farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Coleshill 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. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Coleshill? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wedding. The frying and serving are down to us. At a December wedding in Coleshill, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

A chip van compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
What affects the price in Coleshill
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wedding is.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Rough numbers for adults and children
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Coleshill questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It is our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
