Fresh fish and chips in Enfield Highway
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Funeral and wake catering in Enfield Highway, cooked to order
Someone else can make the booking for you. Whether it’s remembering a loved one’s favourite food and pub wakes, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas for your guests.
In Enfield Highway, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, and there’s less waste when numbers are uncertain. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Enfield Highway
Is parking a problem for the van in Enfield Highway?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Could you trade in Gunpowder Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In winter, it’s dark in Enfield Highway by about 3:50pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Enfield Highway 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 are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
