Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

About our funeral and wake catering in Brockley
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. We serve gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for a tribute meal and gatherings at a village hall or club.
For a wake in Brockley, a hall or club with a car park is often simplest. 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.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Check the hall has an urn
- Allow a little extra
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are 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.
