Can the van park in Castle Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Springhead from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Can you park near the barn?
Typically, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.

Can the van be part of the photos?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At a December wedding in Springhead, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
