Common questions in Upminster Bridge
Can the van park in St. Andrew's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Laurence: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. Evening food is the most common wedding booking for a fish and chip van. Tell us your date and venue.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, Upminster Bridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wedding?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
