For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Late-December sunset in Alperton is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Alperton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Alperton
What about parking in Alperton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if we do not know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, many families prefer that.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
