About our funeral and wake catering in Queens Park
We serve wakes at homes, halls, clubs and venues, wherever the van can park. Popular choices include sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for memorial gatherings and anniversary memorials.
For a wake in a place like Queens Park, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

FAQs for Queens Park
How far is Queens Park from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity: 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.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Contact us as soon as you can. We will tell you right away whether we are available.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wake. Summer evenings in Queens Park stay light until about 9:25pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
