Funeral and wake catering in Hyde farm estate, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when people arrive, after a long, cold day. Popular choices include gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater a tribute meal and celebrations of life.
For a wake in Hyde farm estate, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Hyde farm estate
Is parking a problem for the van in Hyde farm estate?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in Wandsworth Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they do not, or at home. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
