About our funeral and wake catering in Tower Hill
Services frequently run over, and we’ll work around the service and the family. Popular choices include gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for wakes at church halls and clubs and celebrations of life.
In Tower Hill, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby, which we can help you think through. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What affects the price in Tower Hill
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The menu and how many choices
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your wake, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Late-December sunset in Tower Hill is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
Tower Hill 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 picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Plan for a few extra people
- Ensure older relatives can sit
We park quietly.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
