About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Funeral and wake catering in Edmonton, cooked to order
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. We are frequently asked to cater family meals after the service and a favourite meal in someone’s memory, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
In Edmonton, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Edmonton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Arranging a wake in Edmonton

We cover all 764 towns and villages across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 9 miles away.
A club or hall near Edmonton gives space for everyone and parking for the van. Families holding a service at All Saints' Church frequently gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the van can park.
Wherever your wake is in N9, N18, N13 and EN1, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes.

How we price fish and chips for the wake
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Edmonton; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Other occasions in Edmonton
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
A chip van compared with other options
Sandwiches are traditional at wakes. Hot food can be more welcome, especially in winter. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
What you get with us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Classic food your guests already know
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Common questions in Edmonton
Could you trade in Pymmes Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you come?
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’ll gather.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What if we don’t know numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
