Funeral and wake catering in Hampton, fried fresh
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. Typical bookings include a tribute meal and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In Hampton, a hall with parking is often the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Hampton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome, especially in winter. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In summer, a wake in Hampton has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
