Funeral and wake catering in Roehampton, fried fresh
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. We’re often asked to cater a tribute meal and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy.
For a wake in Roehampton, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest, though home can work with a drive. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Roehampton
What about parking in Roehampton?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
We’re gathering after a service at St Margaret's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
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’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Can you come to the house?
Often, yes. Send us a photo of the drive or the road outside.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A sit-down meal can feel formal. Fish and chips lets people mingle. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Roehampton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In summer, a wake in Roehampton has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Share the timings for the day
