Questions from Strood Green
What’s the nearest station to Strood Green?
Betchworth station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
About our funeral and wake catering in Strood Green
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. For a favourite meal in someone’s memory and pub wakes, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy for your guests.
In rural Strood Green, home or the hall is usual. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Allow a little extra
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer evenings in Strood Green stay light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day

- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
