Fresh fish and chips in Hornchurch Marshes

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Hornchurch Marshes

We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. Whether it is charity and fundraising days at work and summer team days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

London work events in Hornchurch Marshes frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we keep the menu short and service quick. Let us know about access and security. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Questions from Hornchurch Marshes

Can the van park in Wildspace Conservation Park?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

What’s the nearest station to Hornchurch Marshes?

Dagenham Dock station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.

Can you invoice the company?

We’ll explain how it works when we quote.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Do you need power or water?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

What does the van need?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

What happens if it rains?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Should I sort the food myself?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Planning the van’s spot

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:

  • A short walk from the party
  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Access wide and high enough for the van

As a London location, Hornchurch Marshes is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Our booking checklist

How it works

You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Hornchurch Marshes is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:50pm in December.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
