Funeral and wake catering in Satmar, fried fresh
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. Typical bookings include wakes at church halls and clubs and a tribute meal, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Satmar, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Satmar questions
Is Satmar too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
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.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you come to Satmar?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Satmar. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
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 or venue allows a catering van
- Allow a little extra
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Choose a friend to be our contact
Remember the journey from the service.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your wake. Late-December sunset in Satmar is about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your wake. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
