Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.

Gallows Corner: your questions answered
What about parking in Gallows Corner?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Raphael Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Tell us your date and venue.
When should evening food go out?
Usually between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance. We’ll work to your timings.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Gallows Corner is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Evening food can be anything from bacon rolls to pizza. Fish and chips stands out because it is a proper hot meal. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
