For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

How our funeral and wake catering works in Leamouth
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for a wake at the family home and memorial gatherings.
For a wake in Leamouth, a hall or club with a car park is often simplest. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Leamouth?
A formal meal does not always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen needed
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Quick service from the hatch
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Leamouth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Leamouth
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Luke?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Leamouth?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if timings change?
Yes. We start when you are ready.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can our funeral director book for us?
Of course. We’re happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Often, yes. Send us a picture of the drive or the road outside.

Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. Late-December sunset in Leamouth is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
- Ask the venue about the van
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Service time
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
