Other occasions in Wood Green
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Allow a little extra
We serve when people are ready, not to a rigid schedule.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Wood Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Wood Green questions
Can the van park in Woodside Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Can the van come to Wood Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Wood Green. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What affects the price in Wood Green
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges

- The length of service
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
