Funeral and wake catering in Brixton, cooked to order
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. Popular choices include pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for wakes at church halls and clubs and family gatherings after a burial or cremation.
Wakes in Brixton are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your wake, and we will check the date and send a price.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Brixton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Brixton
For planners, venues and organisers
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 are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Common questions in Brixton
Is parking a problem for the van in Brixton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
What’s the nearest station to Brixton?
Brixton has its own station: Brixton station.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes. Send us a photo of the drive or the road outside.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
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 will be honest about what’s possible.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In Brixton, it’s dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
