Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Ask a friend to run a tea table

- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
We park quietly before guests return from the service.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venues offer wake menus. A van works where they don’t, or at home. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A quote that spells everything out
- All the chip-shop extras
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
See how we price and our guide to van hire costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas

FAQs for Dancers Hill
Which station is closest to Dancers Hill?
The closest is Potters Bar station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Can the van park in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
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.
