Funeral and wake catering in Little Stanmore, cooked to order
Services often run over, so we stay flexible. We serve gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for memorial events and anniversaries and pub wakes.
Wakes in Little Stanmore are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Little Stanmore is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A wake in Little Stanmore in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Little Stanmore: your questions answered
Could you trade in Canons Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Lawrence: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is short notice a problem?
Get in touch as soon as you can. We’ll let you know quickly.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van come to Little Stanmore?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Little Stanmore and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Planners, venues and businesses
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 are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
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’ll confirm what we can provide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
