FAQs for Camberwell
We are gathering after a service at St Giles' Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Brunswick Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How quickly can you come?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if the service runs late?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Camberwell
It is an informal meal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. Whether it is a tribute meal and memorial events and anniversaries, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Wakes in Camberwell are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Camberwell is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van.
Relatives driving in can use the A202 and B214 to reach Camberwell. A club or hall near Camberwell gives space for everyone and parking for the van, with the van in the car park.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 is crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Plan seating for older guests
We start when you give the word.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Where the van can park in Camberwell
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Camberwell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
