A fish and chip van or other catering?
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why Hyde Park Estate hosts choose us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Quick service from the hatch
- Bookings across Greater London, including Hyde Park Estate
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Hyde Park Estate is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Check the hall has an urn
We start when you give the word, not to a rigid schedule.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

Hyde Park Estate: your questions answered
Can the van park in Hyde Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
