Common questions in Sudbury Hill
What’s the nearest station to Sudbury Hill?
Sudbury & Harrow Road station, in Sudbury Hill itself.
Could you trade in Preston Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We understand the timescales, so send us the date and we will answer right away.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we do not know numbers?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
For event organisers in Sudbury Hill
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In autumn and winter, it is dark early in Sudbury Hill; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Sudbury Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch

What affects the price in Sudbury Hill
