Wedding fish and chip van in Coley Park, cooked to order
We agree timings with you and your venue, so the food fits your running order. On the menu are mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for barn and farm weddings and evening wedding food.
For a smaller place like Coley Park, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Timings are planned around your wedding, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Evening fish and chips
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
