Book the van in Colworth
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
About our wedding fish and chip van in Colworth

Colworth questions
Is Colworth close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Colworth?
Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Send us your date and venue.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short if you have a lot of guests.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
