Funeral and wake catering in Greenwich, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when people arrive, after a long, cold day. For a wake at the family home and village hall wakes, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In Greenwich, 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. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Questions from Greenwich
What’s the nearest station to Greenwich?
Greenwich has its own station: Maze Hill station.
Is parking a problem for the van in Greenwich?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Is short notice a problem?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll tell you right away whether we’re available.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Cannot 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.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In winter, it’s dark in Greenwich by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
