Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Iver Heath
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. For a wake at the family home and village hall wakes, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Iver Heath, the hall is frequently where people gather. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Iver Heath: your questions answered
Is Iver Heath close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Margaret?
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.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We plan for delays. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Get in touch as soon as you can. We’ll tell you right away whether we’re available.
Can the van come to Iver Heath?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Iver Heath. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In winter, it’s dark in Iver Heath by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
