Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Angell Town
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered. We serve mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for celebrations of life and pub wakes.
Wakes in Angell Town are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby, which we can help you think through. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

FAQs for Angell Town
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Max Roach Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if we do not know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We plan for delays. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in Angell Town is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; 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’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan for a few extra people
- Check the hall has an urn
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
