Funeral and wake catering in Enfield, fried fresh
We keep it calm and simple. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. Whether it is village hall wakes and wakes at home, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
In Enfield, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- Whether travel is included
- How much space the van takes up
- The service time, and the cost of running over
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Allow a little extra
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In winter, it’s dark in Enfield by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
- We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A short walk from the party
Enfield is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For warm food after a funeral, a chip van is a gentle choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Common questions in Enfield
Is parking a problem for the van in Enfield?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Enfield Town Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How many people should we cater for?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
Is short notice a problem?
Get in touch as soon as you can. We’ll tell you straight away whether we are available.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
