Funeral and wake catering for Brentford events
Funeral and wake catering in Brentford, cooked to order
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. We are frequently asked to cater anniversary memorials and memorial gatherings, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In Brentford, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Brentford is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Brentford questions
What’s the nearest station to Brentford?
Brentford station, in Brentford itself.
What about parking in Brentford?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
