Fish and chips is informal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. On the menu are gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for gatherings after the committal and wakes at home.
Wakes in Coney Hall are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Allow a little extra
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Coney Hall is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wake. In summer, a wake in Coney Hall has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.

Questions from Coney Hall
Could you trade in Millers Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St Francis of Assisi?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can someone else arrange it?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
Can you come to the house?
Yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
