How our funeral and wake catering works in Toy's Hill
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so get in touch as soon as you can. Whether it’s gatherings after the committal and remembering a loved one’s favourite food, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In Toy's Hill, a hall with parking is often the easiest option. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Toy's 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 photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Late-December sunset in Toy's Hill is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. 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
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Ensure the van can get in

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Toy's Hill?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they don’t, or at home. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- No surprises in your quote
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A menu almost everyone likes

Common questions in Toy's Hill
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary at South End of Village Green: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Stubbs Wood Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you come to Toy's Hill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Toy's Hill and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Can the wake be at home?
Frequently, yes. Send us a photo of the drive or the road outside.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
