Funeral and wake catering for Bexleyheath events
Funeral and wake catering in Bexleyheath, cooked to order
We keep it calm and simple. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you’re ready. Whether it’s village hall wakes and a favourite meal in someone’s memory, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy for your guests.
In Bexleyheath, a hall with parking is often the easiest option. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What happens on the day
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 winter, it is dark in Bexleyheath by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Common questions in Bexleyheath
Can you serve after a service at Trinity Baptist Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Danson Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We will agree a serving time and stay flexible.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
Bexleyheath 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 picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas

How we price fish and chips for the wake
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Send us the date, the address or DA7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A sit-down meal can feel formal. Fish and chips lets people mingle. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
