Funeral and wake catering for North End events
About our funeral and wake catering in North End
It’s an informal meal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. For life celebrations and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In North End, 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. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

After a funeral in North End
North End is about 1 mile south of Kensington, in Greater London. We cover North End as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. North End is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Families holding a service at St. Andrew's Fulham Fields often gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the van can park. Local halls and clubs near North End can host a wake if home is too small.
Wakes anywhere in W14, SW6 and SW5 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. Whether your wake is on Sun Road, Star Road and Field Road or a nearby road, we will bring the van to you. Neighbouring places where we serve wakes include West Kensington (1 mile east), Brook Green (1 mile north-west), Fulham (1 mile south), Hammersmith (1 mile west) and Brackenbury Village (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also take the van to London (5 miles east), City of Westminster (3 miles north-east), Marylebone (3 miles north-east), St Pancras (5 miles north-east), Shoreditch (6 miles north-east) and Walthamstow (10 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Ladbroke Estate (1.5 miles north) and Chelsea Stadium Tour And Museum (1 mile south-east). Within reach you will find WWT London Wetland Centre and Campden Hill.
- Nearby schools include Avonmore Primary School (less than half a mile north)
- Pubs nearby include Seven Stars pub (within half a mile south-east)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Polish Library POSK in London (1.3 miles west)
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Ask the venue about the van
- Mention allergies you know about
- Plan seating for older guests
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In summer, a wake in North End 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.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Quick service from the hatch

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in North End
Could you trade in Gwendwr Garden?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St. Andrew's Fulham Fields?
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. Send us the address.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if timings change?
Of course. We start when you are ready.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Where the van can park in North End
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
As a London location, North End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
