Funeral and wake catering for Morden events
Funeral and wake catering in Morden, fried fresh
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. Whether it is celebrations of life and family meals after the service, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips and more.
Wakes in Morden are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

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. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Events in Morden and across Greater London
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Allow for the service running over
- Ask the venue about the van
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Morden 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 booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the parking spot

FAQs for Morden
What about parking in Morden?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Cannon Hill Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
Can the van come to Morden?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Morden is within our area and the rest of Greater London. To check your date, use our quote form.
How do we estimate numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wake. In summer, a wake in Morden has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
