About our funeral and wake catering in Agar Town
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. Typical bookings include wakes at church halls and clubs and family meals after the service, serving haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
In Agar Town, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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’s fried on the spot.
Why choose funeral and wake catering in Agar Town?

- A favourite meal in someone’s memory
- Family gatherings after a burial or cremation

Common questions in Agar Town
Could you trade in Lewis Cubitt Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Agar Town?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan for a few extra people
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
We start when you give the word, not to a rigid schedule.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
