How our funeral and wake catering works in Osterley
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. For village hall wakes and pub wakes, we can cook gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Wakes in Osterley are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Osterley?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome, especially in winter. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
As a London location, Osterley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

What else we do in Osterley
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Osterley questions
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Inwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Late-December sunset in Osterley is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Allow a little extra
- Build in time for delays
- Mention allergies you know about
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
We park quietly before guests return from the service.
Have napkins and bins ready.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Service time
- How far we travel
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
