Funeral and wake catering in Northfields
Funeral and wake catering in Northfields, fried fresh
A wake needs warm, simple food. Fish and chips is familiar and comforting. Typical bookings include a favourite meal in someone’s memory and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, with haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
For a wake in Northfields, a hall or club with a car park is often simplest, though home can work with a drive. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

After a funeral in Northfields
Northfields is about 1 mile south of Ealing, in Greater London. We take fish and chips for the wake to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Northfields and the surrounding area. Northfields is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Northfields to London (about 9 miles away).
After a service at Avenue Theatre, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone. Northfields is on or near the A3002, handy for relatives driving in.
We serve wakes across the W5, W13 and TW8 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Burns Road, South Road and Elers Road; a wake on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Northfields is on the A3002, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. Close by, we cover wakes in Brentford (1 mile south-east), Gillette Corner (1 mile south-west), Brentford End (1 mile south), Osterley (2 miles south-west) and Spring Grove (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include London (9 miles east), City of Westminster (7 miles east), Marylebone (7 miles east), Kensington (5 miles east), St Pancras (9 miles east) and Shoreditch (10 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Ealing Hospital (1.4 miles west) and Municipal Borough of Ealing (1 mile north). Open spaces near Northfields include Middle Lake and Long Wood.

What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, Northfields is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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 nobody has to miss the wake.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check the hall has an urn
- Plan seating for older guests
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground when choosing a serving time.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Late-December sunset in Northfields is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A formal meal does not always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
