Funeral and wake catering for Wandsworth events
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
As a London location, Wandsworth is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Wandsworth

Funeral and wake catering in Wandsworth, cooked to order
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so contact us as soon as you can. On the menu are pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater family meals after the service and a wake at the family home.
Wakes in Wandsworth are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

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. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In Wandsworth, it’s dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- No kitchen needed
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Service time

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote

- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Wandsworth: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for the van in Wandsworth?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can the van park in King George's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
How do we estimate numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask the venue about the van
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
- Check the hall has an urn
- Keep the serving time flexible
We park quietly.
Have napkins and bins ready.
