Funeral and wake catering in Twickenham
Funeral and wake catering in Twickenham, fried fresh
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. Typical bookings include wakes at home and wakes at church halls and clubs, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy.
Wakes in Twickenham 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. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Twickenham 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.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
