Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, Dartmouth Park 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.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
We arrive in good time and park discreetly.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
