Funeral and wake catering in Walham Green
About our funeral and wake catering in Walham Green
A wake needs warm, simple food. Fish and chips is familiar and comforting. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for gatherings after scattering ashes and gatherings at a village hall or club.
Wakes in Walham Green are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Allow a little extra
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
What affects the price in Walham Green
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
- A photo of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. A wake in Walham Green in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Sandwiches are traditional at wakes. A hot meal can be more comforting. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
