Funeral and wake catering for Warner Estate events
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Warner Estate
It is an informal meal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. Whether it is gatherings after the committal and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Wakes in Warner Estate are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby, which we can help you think through. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Where the van can park in Warner Estate
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Warner Estate 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wake. Sunset in Warner Estate is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:50pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Warner Estate
What about parking in Warner Estate?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Can you serve after a service at St John's?
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.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes. We are happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your wake. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
