How our wedding fish and chip van works in Emerson Park
Evening guests may have come straight from work, and day guests ate hours ago. Hot food fried to order looks after both. Whether it’s wedding after-parties and weddings in a marquee or garden, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
London weddings around Emerson Park frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a courtyard or a family home. The van needs somewhere off the road to park, such as a yard, car park or drive. Plan this early with your venue. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At a December wedding in Emerson Park, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Emerson Park questions
What about parking in Emerson Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Haynes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
When should evening food go out?
Normally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
Do you come to Emerson Park?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Emerson Park. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count suppliers working late
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
What affects the price in Emerson Park

- Numbers
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
