Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Hounslow West
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Paul?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What about parking in Hounslow West?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Other occasions in Hounslow West
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Late-December sunset in Hounslow West is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.
Before we arrive

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Hounslow West is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- How far we travel
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Expected numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
