Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Allow a little extra
We arrive in good time and park discreetly before guests return from the service.

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children

Brentford End questions
Could you trade in Boston Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Lawrence: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do we estimate numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can our funeral director book for us?
Yes. We are happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Brentford End is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A formal meal does not always suit. Fish and chips lets people mingle. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
