Book the van in Mill Meads
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Mill Meads 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 booking.

Funeral and wake catering in Mill Meads, fried fresh
Someone else can make the booking for you, so you have one less thing to do. We’re frequently asked to cater wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and gatherings at a village hall or club, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In Mill Meads, a hall with parking is often the easiest option. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
