Redbridge: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Redbridge?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at St Luke'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.
Do you cover Redbridge?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Redbridge is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
Can our funeral director book for us?
Yes. We’re happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How we price fish and chips for the wake

- Whether a minimum applies

- The day of the week

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

For event organisers in Redbridge
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Late-December sunset in Redbridge is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
