Common questions in Strand-on-the-Green
Is parking a problem for the van in Strand-on-the-Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Plan something for guests we cannot cater for
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. Fish and chips from the hatch keeps it informal. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
