Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Belsize Park
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. For remembrance gatherings and wakes at venues, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Wakes in Belsize Park 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. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Common questions in Belsize Park
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Belsize Park?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We will agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Belsize Park.
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’ll be honest about what’s possible.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
What affects the price in Belsize Park
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park

- A photo of the parking spot

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
