Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Regents Park
We understand that timings on the day can move, and we’ll work around the service and the family. Whether it is wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and wakes at home, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In Regents Park, the hall is frequently where people gather, and its car park suits the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Regents Park: halls, homes and travel
Regents Park is about 2 miles west of Southampton, in Southampton. Bookings in Regents Park come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Regents Park is one of 40 towns and villages in Southampton where we bring the van.
Relatives driving in can use the A33 and A3057 to reach Regents Park. Families holding a service at Church of the Holy Trinity often gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the van can park. The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles of Regents Park, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access. The coast is within about 3 miles of Regents Park, and for many families fish and chips brings back memories of the seaside.
This part of Southampton takes in SO15, SO16 and SO17, so your wake can be anywhere in it. Local streets include May Road, Mill Road and York Road; a wake on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Regents Park is on the A33 and A3057, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. If your venue is just outside Regents Park, we also cover Shirley (1 mile east), Millbrook (1 mile south-west), Freemantle (1 mile south-east), Maybush (1 mile north-west) and Coxford (1 mile north). Further out, we also take the van to Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (3 miles east), Thornhill (4 miles east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east), Harefield (4 miles east) and Itchen (3 miles east). Regents Park is among the bigger towns we cover in Southampton, with lots of choice for wakes.
Other landmarks nearby include Marlands Shopping Centre (1.8 miles south-east) and Netley Castle (4.6 miles south-east). Open spaces near Regents Park include Testwood Lakes.
- Nearby schools include Foundry Lane Primary School (under half a mile east) and Millbrook Community School (1.2 miles north-west)
- Local pubs include The Crown Public House (less than half a mile north-east)
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
What affects the price in Regents Park
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
For event organisers in Regents Park
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 work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Regents Park is about 7:10pm in late September and about 4:00pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

What else we do in Regents Park
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Regents Park: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Regents Park?
Millbrook (Hants) station, about 0.6 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you trade in St James' Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Regents Park?
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. We do the cooking. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
