About our funeral and wake catering in Kingston
Funerals are often arranged at short notice, so get in touch as soon as you can. Typical bookings include a tribute meal and anniversary memorials, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
For a wake in a place like Kingston, the village hall is frequently the heart of it. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. Late-December sunset in Kingston is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Kingston: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Kingston from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you come to Kingston?
Yes, we do. Kingston is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan seating for older guests
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Plan for a few extra people
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Have napkins and bins ready.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking 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 larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Where the van can park in Kingston
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
