Funeral and wake catering for Greenhill events
Funeral and wake catering in Greenhill, cooked to order
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for remembrance gatherings and village hall wakes.
Wakes in Greenhill 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, which we can help you think through. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
As a London location, Greenhill 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’ll advise before booking.

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van

- Keep the serving time flexible
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground when choosing a serving time.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Greenhill
Is parking a problem for the van in Greenhill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Northwick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How quickly can you come?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll let you know quickly.
How do we estimate numbers?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you cover Greenhill?
Yes, we do. Greenhill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
