Fresh fish and chips in North Hyde
Funeral and wake catering in North Hyde, fried fresh
Funerals are often arranged at short notice, so ask as soon as you have the date. We’re often asked to cater pub wakes and celebrations of life, with gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Wakes in North Hyde are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Before you book anyone
- The van’s size and access needs
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether there is a minimum
- Allergen information for each item
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Plan seating for older guests
- Mention allergies you know about
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
Make sure older relatives can sit to eat.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In North Hyde, it is dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, and there’s less waste when numbers are uncertain. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why book our van in North Hyde
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Quick service from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
North Hyde questions
Can the van park in Minet Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to North Hyde?
The closest is Southall station, roughly 1 mile away.
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 have a hard-surface back-up.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, that’s common.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, North Hyde is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
