Funeral and wake catering in Kingsland
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the parking spot
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Kingsland: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Shoreditch Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van come to Kingsland?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Kingsland is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Kingsland?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How many people should we cater for?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
Is short notice a problem?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
Step by step
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Kingsland is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or N1 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Kingsland is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

If you are 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.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
