How our funeral and wake catering works in North Sheen
Someone else can make the booking for you, so you have one less thing to do. Typical bookings include small family memorials and celebrations of life, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In North Sheen, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 usually the easier option.

- A short walk from the party
As a London location, North Sheen 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.
