We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

Common questions in Hanger Hill
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Ascension: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Hanger Hill?
Acton Main Line station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van come to Hanger Hill?
We do. Hanger Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What if we do not know numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Who books funeral and wake catering in Hanger Hill?
It’s warm, simple food that almost everyone enjoys.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Wakes at a pub or venue with outside space
- Gatherings at a village hall or club
- Gatherings at home after a funeral
- Family gatherings after a burial or cremation
After a service at Church of the Ascension, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In winter, it is dark in Hanger Hill 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.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
