About our funeral and wake catering in West Green
It’s an informal meal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. We’re frequently asked to cater remembrance gatherings and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
In West Green, 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. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Allow a little extra
- Plan seating for older guests
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
West Green 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’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in West Green
What about parking in West Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Downhills Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the van come to West Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including West Green and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, use our quote form.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For warm food after a funeral, fish and chips from a van works well. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
