North Camp questions
What’s the nearest station to North Camp?
The closest is North Camp station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at St Mark: 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.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What if the service runs late?
Yes. We start when you’re ready.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Funeral and wake catering in North Camp, cooked to order
We work quietly and simply. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. Typical bookings include small family memorials and life celebrations, with cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
For a wake in a place like North Camp, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Other occasions in North Camp
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Make sure older relatives can sit
- Cater for a few more than you expect
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
