After a funeral in North Greenwich

Funeral and wake catering in North Greenwich, fried fresh
A wake needs warm, simple food. Fish and chips is familiar and comforting. For memorial gatherings and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas and more.
In North Greenwich, a hall with parking is often the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

What else we do in North Greenwich
North Greenwich: your questions answered
What about parking in North Greenwich?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Mudchute Park and Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you come to the house?
Often, yes. Send us a picture of the drive or the road outside.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Comparing caterers
- How allergens are handled
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Whether there’s a minimum
- Payment terms and deposit
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
North Greenwich is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: 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.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Mention allergies you know about
- Check the hall has an urn
- Build in time for delays
- Choose a friend to be our contact
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
Photos or a memory book give people something to share.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wake. In winter, it is dark in North Greenwich by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
