Funeral and wake catering in Lampton
Funeral and wake catering in Lampton, fried fresh
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly. Whether it’s wakes at venues and family meals after the service, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy for your guests.
Wakes in Lampton are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Plan for a few extra people
We arrive in good time and park discreetly.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A short walk from the party
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Lampton is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Which station is closest to Lampton?
The closest is Hounslow station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lampton.

Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Often, yes. Send us a photo of the drive or the road outside.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
