Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- Numbers
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Tufnell Park
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so ask as soon as you have the date. Whether it is scattering of ashes gatherings and gatherings at home after a funeral, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Wakes in Tufnell Park are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
