Funeral and wake catering in Cricklewood
How our funeral and wake catering works in Cricklewood
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. For memorial events and anniversaries and remembering a loved one’s favourite food, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and gravy and more.
In Cricklewood, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

For event organisers in Cricklewood
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Where the van can park in Cricklewood
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Cricklewood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
