Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Grange Mills is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- Cater for a few more than you expect

Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Common questions in Grange Mills
What about parking in Grange Mills?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at MCC South London?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we do not know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What affects the price in Grange Mills
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
