Funeral and wake catering in Bedford Park, fried fresh
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so get in touch as soon as you can. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for wakes at home and memorial gatherings.
In Bedford Park, a hall with parking is often the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What else we do in Bedford Park
For event organisers in Bedford Park
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What happens on the day
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your wake. In summer, a wake in Bedford Park has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Bedford Park
What about parking in Bedford Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Bedford Park?
Bedford Park has its own station: South Acton station.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is short notice a problem?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so ask and we will reply quickly.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
Bedford Park 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
