Questions from Bedfont
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about parking in Bedfont?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van come to Bedfont?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bedfont. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can our funeral director book for us?
Of course. We are happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Bedfont
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so ask as soon as you have the date. Whether it is a favourite meal in someone’s memory and anniversary memorials, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy and more.
In Bedfont, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Allow for the service running over
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Ensure older relatives can sit
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
Give us a contact for the day who is not a close family member.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
For event organisers in Bedfont
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Bedfont is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works at home or at a hall. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
- Quick service from the hatch

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Wakes in Bedfont: venues and practical details
Bedfont is about 1 mile west of Feltham, in Greater London. People in Bedfont book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Bedfont is one of 764 places in Greater London where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Bedfont to London (15 miles away).
Families holding a service at Church of St Mary frequently gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the van can park.
For wakes in TW14, TW6 and TW13, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. Whether your wake is on Elm Road, New Road and East Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Bedfont, we also cover West Bedfont (1 mile west), Feltham (1 mile east), Heathrow (1 mile north-west), Hatton (1 mile north-east) and Hounslow (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover London (15 miles east), City of Westminster (13 miles east), Marylebone (13 miles east), Kensington (11 miles east), St Pancras (15 miles east) and Hampstead (13 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Kempton Steam Museum (2.3 miles south-east) and Treaty Centre (3.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Staines Reservoirs and Crane Meadows.
- Schools near Bedfont include Space Studio West London (0.8 miles east) and Spelthorne College (1.4 miles south-west)
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In summer, a wake in Bedfont has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning help
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
