What’s the nearest station to Castle Green?
The closest is Barking Riverside station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a photo of the spot.
When should we book?

Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Castle Green is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Winter weddings in Castle Green are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
