Funeral and wake catering in Clay Hill, fried fresh
We work quietly and simply. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. For celebrations of life and village hall wakes, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Wakes in Clay 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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 normally the easier option.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
