Funeral and wake catering in Westcroft, fried fresh
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. For wakes at home and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
In Westcroft, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Let us know where the van can go. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Where the van can park in Westcroft
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

FAQs for Westcroft
Is Westcroft close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at St Giles's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
Is short notice a problem?
We understand the timescales, so send us the date and we will answer straight away.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer evenings in Westcroft stay light until about 9:25pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
