Funeral and wake catering for Haverstock events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Funeral and wake catering in Haverstock, cooked to order
Funerals are frequently arranged at short notice, so get in touch as soon as you can. Popular choices include gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for wakes at home and a tribute meal.
Wakes in Haverstock are frequently 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. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Haverstock questions
Which station is closest to Haverstock?
South Hampstead station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We plan for delays. We will agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How many people should we cater for?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
