Common questions in Colnbrook
Is Colnbrook too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Colnbrook close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests, not all.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. At midsummer, sunset in Colnbrook 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.

Weddings in Colnbrook: venues, ceremonies and travel
Colnbrook is about 4 miles north of Staines-upon-Thames, in Slough. Weddings in Colnbrook are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
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 nobody has to miss the wedding.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Events in Colnbrook and across Slough
- Something for guests to gather round
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
