Funeral and wake catering for Shooter's Hill events
Shooter's Hill questions
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Shooter's Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What if the service runs late?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How do we estimate numbers?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
Funeral and wake catering in Shooter's Hill, cooked to order
Services frequently run over, so we stay flexible. Whether it’s wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and family meals after the service, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Wakes in Shooter's Hill are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- Parking and the way in
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
As a London location, Shooter's Hill 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.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

About the food
Pie and chips

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently 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 will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wake. Sunset in Shooter's Hill is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
