Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Adelphi
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary memorials and wakes at venues.
Wakes in Adelphi are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Why choose funeral and wake catering in Adelphi?

Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Adelphi book the van for occasions like:
- Wakes at a pub or venue with outside space

After a service at Savoy Chapel, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.

Adelphi is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
