How our funeral and wake catering works in Isleworth
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. For small family memorials and memorial gatherings, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For a wake in Isleworth, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ensure older relatives can sit
- Allow for the service running over
- Plan for a few extra people
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground when choosing a serving time.
Photos or a memory book give people something to share.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A short walk from the party
As a London location, Isleworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In summer, a wake in Isleworth has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
How to get a price

Isleworth: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Old Deer Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
