Funeral and wake catering in Streatham Park
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Streatham Park
It is an informal meal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. Whether it’s celebrations of life and small family memorials, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Wakes in Streatham Park are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby, 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.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan seating for older guests
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Let us know of any allergies
We start when you give the word, not to a rigid schedule.
Have napkins and bins ready.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In summer, a wake in Streatham Park has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
