Fresh fish and chips in Teddington
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
About our funeral and wake catering in Teddington
Funerals are frequently arranged at short notice, so ask as soon as you have the date. For a tribute meal and small family memorials, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
In Teddington, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 usually the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wake. In winter, it is dark in Teddington by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
