Funeral and wake catering in Northwick Park, fried fresh
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. For wakes at venues and gatherings at home after a funeral, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
For a wake in Northwick Park, a hall or club with a car park is often simplest, though home can work with a drive. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In summer, a wake in Northwick Park has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Common questions in Northwick Park
Can you serve after a service at Saint Cuthberts Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Preston Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if timings change?
Yes. We start when you are ready.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is short notice a problem?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We will tell you straight away whether we are available.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Where the van can park in Northwick Park
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Northwick Park 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.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
