Funeral and wake catering in Queensbury, fried fresh
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so ask as soon as you have the date. Whether it’s family gatherings after a burial or cremation and wakes at church halls and clubs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In Queensbury, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Queensbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- Travel, tolls and road charges

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Check the hall has an urn
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Ask the venue about the van
- Plan seating for older guests
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.

Queensbury: your questions answered
Can the van park in Roe Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at All Saints Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Who clears up?
