How our funeral and wake catering works in West Brompton
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered. On the menu are gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater a favourite meal in someone’s memory and a wake at the family home.
In West Brompton, a hall with parking is often the easiest option, though home can work with a drive. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How we price fish and chips for the wake
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service
- The day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the parking spot
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Make sure older relatives can sit
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Check the hall has an urn
Remember the journey from the service.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.

Step by step

Late-December sunset in West Brompton is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
