Funeral and wake catering in Bounds Green
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Bounds Green
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so ask as soon as you have the date. We’re often asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and a tribute meal, with gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a wake in Bounds Green, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest, though home can work with a drive. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Sandwiches are traditional at wakes. Hot food can be more welcome. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Quick service from the hatch
- Events in Bounds Green and across Greater London
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Bounds Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your wake. Late-December sunset in Bounds Green is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
