About our funeral and wake catering in Parsons Green
Fish and chips is informal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. For pub wakes and a wake at the family home, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
Wakes in Parsons Green are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Late-December sunset in Parsons Green is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
