The process

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.

About the food
Cod and chips

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
FAQs for Lea Bridge
Can you serve after a service at St Matthew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about parking in Lea Bridge?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Diets, allergies and planning
