Funeral and wake catering in Westbourne Green, fried fresh
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. Typical bookings include remembering a loved one’s favourite food and gatherings after the committal, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For a wake in Westbourne Green, a hall or club with a car park is often simplest, though home can work with a drive. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer evenings in Westbourne Green stay light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

A table of photos helps people talk.

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Common questions in Westbourne Green
Which station is closest to Westbourne Green?
The closest is London Paddington station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
What about parking in Westbourne Green?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
A chip van compared with other options
A sit-down meal can feel formal. Fish and chips lets people mingle. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wake is.
