Funeral and wake catering in Norwood Green, cooked to order
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. Typical bookings include wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and wakes at home, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In Norwood Green, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option. 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.

Common questions in Norwood Green
Can the van park in Inwood Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Norwood Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Norwood Green?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wake. The frying and serving are down to us. In summer, a wake in Norwood Green has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Norwood Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
