How our funeral and wake catering works in Tottenham
Services frequently run over, so we stay flexible. We’re frequently asked to cater remembrance gatherings and family meals after the service, with haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
In Tottenham, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Sandwiches are traditional at wakes. Hot food can be more welcome, especially in winter. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
Take a look at how we price or what a fish and chip van costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.

What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wake is.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your wake. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Tottenham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Allow for the service running over
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
Ensure older relatives can sit to eat.
Photos or a memory book give people something to share.
The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Tottenham; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- We park discreetly and fry fresh as people arrive.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
