Funeral and wake catering in Sudbury, cooked to order
Someone else can make the booking for you. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater remembrance gatherings and gatherings at a village hall or club.
Wakes in Sudbury are often 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. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Next to a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wake is.
What you get with us
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen needed
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Bookings across Greater London, including Sudbury

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Plan seating for older guests
- Build in time for delays
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
We serve when people are ready, not to a rigid schedule.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
Sudbury: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Sudbury?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can the van park in Preston Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How many people should we cater for?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we will reply quickly.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, many families prefer that.

What else we do in Sudbury
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Sudbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wake. Late-December sunset in Sudbury is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand
