Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Cyprus is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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 before you book.
Popular choices

After a funeral in Cyprus
Cyprus is about 2 miles east of Canning Town, in Greater London. Cyprus is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Cyprus is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we bring the van. You can also see our page for London, about 7 miles away.
After a service at St Michael and All Angels Church, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone. For anyone coming to the funeral by train, Woolwich station is about 1.3 miles away.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For event organisers in Cyprus
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Questions from Cyprus
Could you trade in Beckton District Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Cyprus?
Woolwich station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
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.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Mention allergies you know about
- Choose a friend to be our contact
Give us a contact for the day who isn’t a close family member.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
