About our funeral and wake catering in Marylebone
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered, which makes it a fitting tribute. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for gatherings after scattering ashes and a wake at the family home.
Wakes in Marylebone are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

FAQs for Marylebone
What’s the nearest station to Marylebone?
Marylebone has its own station: Bond Street station.
Could you trade in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, that’s common.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In winter, it’s dark in Marylebone by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Ensure the van can get in

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
