Funeral and wake catering for Hurlingham events
Questions from Hurlingham
Can the van park in Parsons Green (park)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Dionis?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What if timings change?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Hurlingham
We work quietly and simply. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you’re ready. Whether it’s remembrance gatherings and gatherings after scattering ashes, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy.
Wakes in Hurlingham 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. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Summer evenings in Hurlingham stay light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Ask for a quote
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Hurlingham 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 will advise before you book.
