Funeral and wake catering for Stockwell events
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Stockwell
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. For remembrance gatherings and gatherings after the committal, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Stockwell, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How we price fish and chips for the wake
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- The day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your wake, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Stockwell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they do not, or at home. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Why us?
- Classic food your guests already know
- Events in Stockwell and across Greater London
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Stockwell questions
Could you trade in Max Roach Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Stockwell?
The closest is Brixton station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you come to the house?
Yes. Send us a photo of the drive or the road outside.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Plan seating for older guests
- Cater for a few more than you expect
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In summer, a wake in Stockwell has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
