For a service at a church like St Stephen's Parish Church, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests. If relatives are coming by rail, Bush Hill Park station serves Bush Hill Park directly.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Bush Hill Park
Could you trade in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Stephen's Parish Church?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What if we do not know numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Bush Hill Park 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 photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
