How our wedding fish and chip van works in Hornchurch Marshes
Some evening guests arrive without having eaten, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Fresh fish and chips suits everyone. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for wedding after-parties and coastal-themed receptions.
For a wedding in Hornchurch Marshes, think about where a catering van can stop. Many London venues have a loading bay or yard, which suits a chip van well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
