How our funeral and wake catering works in White City
We understand that timings on the day can move, and we’ll work around the service and the family. Whether it is small family memorials and a favourite meal in someone’s memory, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In White City, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. A wake in White City in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in White City
Could you trade in Hammersmith Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Michael and St George?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in White City?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wake and we’ll send a quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

White City: halls, homes and travel
White City is about 1 mile north-west of Kensington, in Greater London. Anywhere in W12, we will come to your venue, home or workplace. White City is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 6 miles away.
Local halls and clubs near White City can host a wake if home is too small. Families holding a service at St Michael and St George often gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the van can park.
Wherever your wake is in W12, W11 and W10, we can fry fresh for your guests. Your wake could be at a house on Bard Road, Wood Lane and Abdale Road, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to wakes in Shepherd's Bush (1 mile south), Notting Dale (1 mile east), North Kensington (1 mile north), Notting Hill (1 mile east) and Kensal Town (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (6 miles east), City of Westminster (3 miles east), Marylebone (3 miles east), St Pancras (5 miles east), Shoreditch (6 miles east) and Walthamstow (10 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Westfield London (less than half a mile south) and Princess Louise Hospital (0.5 miles north). Green spaces nearby include The Long Water and Greville Place nature reserve.

- Parks and local facilities nearby include Ladbroke Estate (0.8 miles east) and Polish Library POSK in London (1.4 miles south-west)
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. A hot meal can be more comforting. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
