Funeral and wake catering for New Charlton events
How our funeral and wake catering works in New Charlton
We keep it calm and simple. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you’re ready. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for a favourite meal in someone’s memory and family gatherings after a burial or cremation.
For a wake in New Charlton, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A formal meal does not always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, New Charlton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wake. In winter, it is dark in New Charlton by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- We park discreetly and fry fresh as people arrive.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Ensure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Common questions in New Charlton
Is parking a problem for the van in New Charlton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
We are gathering after a service at St Catherine Labouré: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How do we estimate numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. Find your area.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
How quickly can you come?
Contact us as soon as you can. We will tell you straight away whether we are available.
Do you cover New Charlton?
We do. New Charlton is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
