How our funeral and wake catering works in Shepperton
We work quietly and simply. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you are ready. We serve gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater small family memorials and celebrations of life.
For a wake in a place like Shepperton, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
