Funeral and wake catering for Walthamstow Village events
Questions from Walthamstow Village
We are gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about parking in Walthamstow Village?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van come to Walthamstow Village?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Walthamstow Village and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Funeral and wake catering in Walthamstow Village, cooked to order
We work quietly and simply. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you are ready. Typical bookings include wakes at venues and a wake at the family home, with gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
In Walthamstow Village, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Walthamstow Village 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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch

- Haddock and chips

How we price fish and chips for the wake
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Build in time for delays
- Plan seating for older guests
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Check the hall has an urn
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. In Walthamstow Village, it’s dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
