The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Summer evenings in Carshalton stay light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Organising for someone else?

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Plan seating for older guests
We park quietly.
A table of photos helps people talk.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Carshalton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, and there is less waste when numbers are uncertain. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
