How our funeral and wake catering works in Hampton Wick
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. We serve mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for wakes at church halls and clubs and memorial events and anniversaries.
Wakes in Hampton Wick are often 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. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

Before we arrive

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

About the food
Curry sauce

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

What affects the price in Hampton Wick

- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- How far we travel
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your wake, and we will quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Hampton Wick is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Hampton Wick: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hampton Wick?
Hampton Wick station, in Hampton Wick itself.
Could you trade in Canbury Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
