Funeral and wake catering in Wembley, fried fresh
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. Whether it’s remembrance gatherings and wakes at home, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy for your guests.
In Wembley, 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. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask the venue about the van
- Build in time for delays
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Plan for a few extra people
Make sure older relatives can sit to eat.
Photos or a memory book give people something to share.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Wembley 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 you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
