FAQs for Peckham
Is parking a problem for the van in Peckham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Brimmington Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
What if the service runs late?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Peckham
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for celebrations of life and a wake at the family home.
For a wake in Peckham, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest, though home can work with a drive. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Peckham is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
