About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, sunset in Creekmouth is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Creekmouth
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Creekmouth?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Creekmouth.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
