Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Broadfields Estate
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Edgwarebury Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Where the van can park in Broadfields Estate
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Broadfields Estate is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy

- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.

- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
