About our funeral and wake catering in Middlegreen
Services often run over, and we’ll work around the service and the family. On the menu are gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re frequently booked for wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and a favourite meal in someone’s memory.
For a wake near Middlegreen, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the van in the yard or car park. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Middlegreen?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they don’t, or at home. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Middlegreen
How far is Middlegreen from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Middlegreen?
Langley station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How many people should we cater for?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In winter, it is dark in Middlegreen by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- 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
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
