A chip van near Northolt
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Northolt 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.

How our funeral and wake catering works in Northolt
A wake needs warm, simple food. Fish and chips is familiar and comforting. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for anniversary memorials and gatherings after the committal.
In Northolt, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Northolt; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Northolt
Can the van park in Northala Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Richard's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you come to Northolt?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Northolt is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How quickly can you come?
Contact us as soon as you can. We’ll let you know quickly.
What if the service runs late?
We allow for it. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
