Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Build in time for delays
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Make sure older relatives can sit
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
We park quietly before guests return from the service.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
Broad Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Broad Green
Could you trade in Waddon Ponds?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is parking a problem for the van in Broad Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, that is common.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
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 use our quote form.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in Broad Green is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
