Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Tyburn is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: 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.

Funeral and wake catering in Tyburn, fried fresh
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. For pub wakes and celebrations of life, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
In Tyburn, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Organising for someone else?

Common questions in Tyburn
What’s the nearest station to Tyburn?
The closest is London Paddington station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Annunciation?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van come to Tyburn?
We do. We serve events in Tyburn and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if the service runs late?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Sandwiches are traditional at wakes. A hot meal can be more comforting. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
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.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer evenings in Tyburn stay light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
