Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Questions from Quelm Park
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Quelm Park close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What if the service runs late?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.
Do you cover Quelm Park?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Quelm Park and across Bracknell Forest. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- How far we travel
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Build in time for delays
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
