Common questions in Hornchurch Marshes
Could you trade in Wildspace Conservation Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Hornchurch Marshes?
Dagenham Dock station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
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.
When should we eat?
Food early on is normally wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Send allergies to us in writing
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Hornchurch Marshes in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
