Funeral and wake catering in Upper Edmonton, fried fresh
We work quietly and simply. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you’re ready. For wakes at home and scattering of ashes gatherings, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.
For a wake in Upper Edmonton, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

For event organisers in Upper Edmonton
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Make sure older relatives can sit
We park quietly.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Upper Edmonton: halls, homes and travel
Upper Edmonton is about 1 mile south of Edmonton, in Greater London. Bookings in Upper Edmonton come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We serve 764 places across Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Upper Edmonton to London (8 miles away).
A club or hall near Upper Edmonton gives space for everyone and parking for the van, with the van in the car park. After a service at St Mary's Church, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.
This part of Greater London takes in N18, N9 and N17, and we can serve your wake anywhere in it. Your wake could be at a house on Bull Lane, Park Lane and York Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A wake in Upper Edmonton in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level parking spot ready

Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. We do the cooking. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Upper Edmonton
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Upper Edmonton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
