Funeral and wake catering in Wallington
Funeral and wake catering in Wallington, fried fresh
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite. For village hall wakes and a favourite meal in someone’s memory, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In Wallington, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Let us know where the van can go. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from Wallington
What’s the nearest station to Wallington?
Fareham station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van come to Wallington?
We do. We serve events in Wallington and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Check the hall has an urn
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Have chairs for those who need them
We serve when people are ready.
Have napkins and bins ready.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Wallington is about 7:10pm in late September and about 4:00pm in December; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- 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.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
