Funeral and wake catering in Bush Hill
Bush Hill questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Bush Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you serve after a service at Grange Park Methodist Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, many families prefer that.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Funeral and wake catering in Bush Hill, cooked to order
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for remembrance gatherings and a favourite meal in someone’s memory.
Wakes in Bush Hill are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
