Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Little London
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for gatherings at home after a funeral and family meals after the service.
For a wake near Little London, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

FAQs for Little London
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Little London from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How quickly can you come?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll tell you right away whether we’re available.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
For event organisers in Little London

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Next to a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, and there’s less waste when numbers are uncertain. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
