Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Wimbledon Park
Could you trade in King George's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Wimbledon Park?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
What if we do not know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
What if timings change?
We plan for delays. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

What do you bring?

Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Wimbledon Park is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
