Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Grove Park 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 will advise.
Popular choices

Funeral and wake catering in Grove Park, cooked to order
We keep it calm and simple. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. Popular choices include gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater a tribute meal and family meals after the service.
In Grove Park, a hall with parking is often the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Grove Park: your questions answered
Could you trade in Dukes Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at St Paul's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you come to Grove Park?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Grove Park and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How many people should we cater for?
Start with a rough number, and we will firm it up nearer the day.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Grove Park, it is dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

- Numbers
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
