Upper Eashing: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at St Mark's Church and Community Centre?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Upper Eashing from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
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.
Do you come to Upper Eashing?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Upper Eashing is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
It’s kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Upper Eashing, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
