Book the van in St George's Hill
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In St George's Hill, it is dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Share the timings for the day

Funeral and wake catering for your wake in St George's Hill
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly. We’re often asked to cater gatherings after the committal and a wake at the family home, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In St George's Hill, the hall is frequently where people gather, and its car park suits the van. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What else we do in St George's Hill
St George's Hill questions
Can the van park in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at United Reform Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How do we estimate numbers?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
