Funeral and wake catering in Gillette Corner, fried fresh
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. Whether it is a wake at the family home and wakes at venues, we can cook sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
In Gillette Corner, 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, 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 served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

FAQs for Gillette Corner
Can the van park in Boston Manor Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if the service runs late?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Gillette Corner?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Ensure older relatives can sit
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
We start when you give the word.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. Larger groups normally 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.
Why us?
- Bookings across Greater London, including Gillette Corner
- A clear quote before booking

Other occasions in Gillette Corner
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Why choose funeral and wake catering in Gillette Corner?
It takes one job off a very long list.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Gillette Corner book the van for events such as:
- Wakes at church halls and clubs
- Wakes at venues
- Family meals after the service
- A favourite meal in someone’s memory
If the funeral is at a church such as St Mary's Church, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
