Funeral and wake catering in Farringdon, cooked to order
We keep it calm and simple. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. Typical bookings include remembrance gatherings and gatherings after the committal, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Wakes in Farringdon are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby, which we can help you think through. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Perfect for your wake in Farringdon
It needs no kitchen at the hall or home.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Farringdon, people book us for occasions like:
- Remembering a loved one’s favourite food
- Pub wakes
- Anniversary memorials
- Scattering of ashes gatherings
If the funeral is at a church such as St John Clerkenwell or St Mary-at-Hill, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- What the van needs: space, access, power
What affects the price in Farringdon
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wake is.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat

What you get with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen needed
- Events in Farringdon and across Greater London
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
See how we price and the cost guide.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
As a London location, Farringdon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
Working with your venue
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 how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In autumn and winter, it is dark early in Farringdon; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
