Funeral and wake catering in Greenford
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In winter, it is dark in Greenford by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Questions from Greenford
What’s the nearest station to Greenford?
Greenford has its own station: Greenford station.
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of the Holy Cross (old Church)?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
How many people should we cater for?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.

Other occasions in Greenford
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- Distance and any road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
