Funeral and wake catering in West Twyford, cooked to order
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. Typical bookings include anniversary memorials and wakes at home, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
West Twyford is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works at home or at a hall. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
We start when you give the word.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Step by step
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wake. The frying and serving are down to us. In summer, a wake in West Twyford has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
