Funeral and wake catering in West Drayton
Funeral and wake catering in West Drayton, cooked to order
Someone else can make the booking for you, so you have one less thing to do. Whether it is family gatherings after a burial or cremation and wakes at church halls and clubs, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
In West Drayton, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
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.
What affects the price in West Drayton
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in West Drayton is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in West Drayton
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your guests
As a London location, West Drayton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas

Questions from West Drayton
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about parking in West Drayton?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know of any allergies

Have napkins and bins ready.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A formal meal does not always suit. Fish and chips lets people mingle. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
