Funeral and wake catering in West Yoke, fried fresh
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. For remembrance gatherings and a favourite meal in someone’s memory, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Near West Yoke, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Common questions in West Yoke
Is West Yoke too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to West Yoke?
The closest is Longfield station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
