Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Neasden
Fish and chips is informal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. We are frequently asked to cater pub wakes and gatherings after the committal, serving gravy, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In Neasden, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan seating for older guests
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Plan for a few extra people
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
Neasden is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Neasden

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Neasden
Can the van park in Gladstone Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We’re gathering after a service at St Catherine's Church Neasden with St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Neasden.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We plan for delays. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In summer, a wake in Neasden has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
