For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome, especially in winter. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

What else we do in Blendon
Blendon questions
Could you trade in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Blendon?
The closest is Albany Park station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We are happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Blendon, it’s dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Mention allergies you know about
- Plan seating for older guests
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
We arrive in good time and park discreetly.
A table of photos helps people talk.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Blendon is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
