About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In winter, it is dark in Charlton by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Where the van can park in Charlton
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Charlton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
