Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Bell Green
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite. Whether it’s gatherings after the committal and wakes at home, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
Wakes in Bell Green are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Bell Green
Which station is closest to Bell Green?
Lower Sydenham station, in Bell Green itself.
We are gathering after a service at St Michael's and All Angels: can you come?
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.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

For event organisers in Bell Green
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Check the hall has an urn
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Choose a friend to be our contact
Make sure older relatives can sit to eat.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Bell Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
