Funeral and wake catering for North End events
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

About our funeral and wake catering in North End
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for gatherings at home after a funeral and wakes at venues.
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. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
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.
