Limehouse: your questions answered
Can the van park in Bartlett Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Paul's Bow Common?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Limehouse, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
