Funeral and wake catering for Millbank events
How our funeral and wake catering works in Millbank
A wake needs warm, simple food. Fish and chips is familiar and comforting. Typical bookings include family meals after the service and celebrations of life, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In Millbank, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby, which we can help you think through. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Millbank
Could you trade in St James's Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
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 everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
