How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Streatham Hill is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

How we price fish and chips for the wake
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Streatham Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, and there’s less waste when numbers are uncertain. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Streatham Hill hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No surprises in your quote
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.

Streatham Hill questions
Can the van park in Streatham Common?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Streatham Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can someone else arrange it?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if the service runs late?
We plan for delays. We will agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
