Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Brockley Hill
We keep it calm and simple. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for wakes at venues and a wake at the family home.
In Brockley Hill, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Allow for the service running over
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
For warm food after a funeral, fish and chips from a van works well. Larger groups normally 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 us?
- Bookings across Greater London, including Brockley Hill
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

What happens on the day
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In winter, it’s dark in Brockley Hill by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.

How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Brockley Hill
Could you trade in Edgwarebury Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, 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, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

We do. Brockley Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
