Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered, which makes it a fitting tribute. For a tribute meal and gatherings after scattering ashes, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and gravy for your guests.

Questions from Hammersmith
What’s the nearest station to Hammersmith?
The closest is Kensington Olympia station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can the van park in Brook Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Hammersmith?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Hammersmith is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Next to a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- We cover Hammersmith and the whole of Greater London
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In winter, it’s dark in Hammersmith 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.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

We start when you give the word, not to a rigid schedule.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
