Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Nine Elms
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so ask as soon as you have the date. We are often asked to cater anniversary memorials and remembering a loved one’s favourite food, with gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Wakes in Nine Elms are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Nine Elms questions
Which station is closest to Nine Elms?
Battersea Park station, in Nine Elms itself.
Could you trade in Pimlico Gardens?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
