Common questions in Shepherd's Bush
Could you trade in Hammersmith Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Shepherd's Bush Tabernacle?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can someone else arrange it?
Of course. We are happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is short notice a problem?
We understand the timescales, so send us the date and we will answer straight away.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Yes. We serve when people are ready.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Shepherd's Bush
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. For small family memorials and family meals after the service, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
In Shepherd's Bush, a hall with parking is often the easiest option. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Where the van can park in Shepherd's Bush
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Shepherd's Bush is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Shepherd's Bush
The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. A wake in Shepherd's Bush in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Planning help
For event organisers in Shepherd's Bush
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.

Curry sauce

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Ask the venue about the van
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Allow a little extra
Make sure older relatives can sit to eat.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
