Funeral and wake catering in Eden Park, fried fresh
Fish and chips is informal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and gatherings at a village hall or club.
Wakes in Eden Park are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Eden Park is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
