Fresh fish and chips in Stonebridge

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Funeral and wake catering in Stonebridge, cooked to order

We keep it calm and simple. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you’re ready. For wakes at church halls and clubs and scattering of ashes gatherings, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.

In Stonebridge, a hall with parking is often the easiest option. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Stonebridge questions

We’re gathering after a service at Saint Michael and All Angels: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Can the van park in St. Raphael's Edible Garden?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.

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 to keep the queue moving.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

What if we do not know numbers?

Give us your best estimate, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

Where the van can park in Stonebridge

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

As a London location, Stonebridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Working with your venue

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. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Why choose funeral and wake catering in Stonebridge?

There’s no kitchen work for anyone.

How the day works

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In summer, a wake in Stonebridge has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Preparing for the day

  • Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Planning help

Planning for dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Arrange tea and coffee separately
  • Keep the serving time flexible
  • Ask the venue about the van
  • Plan seating for older guests

Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.

A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.

What a fish and chip van costs

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • Cod, haddock or both
  • The number of meals
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Distance and any road charges

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • The venue or postcode
  • A picture of the space and the way in
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
