Funeral and wake catering for Soho events
Funeral and wake catering in Soho, fried fresh
Services frequently run over, so we stay flexible. Typical bookings include a favourite meal in someone’s memory and memorial events and anniversaries, serving pie and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
Wakes in Soho 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. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

After a funeral in Soho
Soho is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. For a wake in Soho, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Soho is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.
Relatives arriving by train should know that Tottenham Court Road station serves Soho directly. If the funeral is at a church such as St Anne's Church, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
Wakes anywhere in W1F, W1T and W1D start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane; a wake on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. You will find Soho on the A4 and A301, so it’s easy for us to reach with the van. If your venue is just outside Soho, we also cover West End (1 mile east), Chinatown (1 mile south), Seven Dials (1 mile east), St Giles (1 mile north-east) and St James's (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (3 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).
A little further out are Montfichet's Tower (1.3 miles east) and Westminster St James (within half a mile south-west). The countryside around Soho includes St. James's Park Lake and Ludgate Hill.
- Nearby schools include LITE Regal International School (0.6 miles west) and Harris Westminster Sixth Form (0.9 miles south)
- Local pubs include Bar Soho (under half a mile north)
- Local facilities include London Library (0.5 miles south-west)
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Questions from Soho
What’s the nearest station to Soho?
Soho has its own station: Tottenham Court Road station.
Can the van park in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can someone else arrange it?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. In autumn and winter, it is dark early in Soho; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
