Funeral and wake catering in Gordon Hill
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Gordon Hill
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for remembering a loved one’s favourite food and village hall wakes.
Wakes in Gordon Hill are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
Gordon Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Gordon Hill: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Gordon Hill?
Gordon Hill has its own station: Gordon Hill station.
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael & All Angels: 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 will gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wake and we’ll send a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How do we estimate numbers?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.

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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. 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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Some venues offer wake menus. A van works at home or at a hall. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
