Book the van in Whitton
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 nobody has to miss the wake.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Whitton
Someone else can make the booking for you. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for a tribute meal and wakes at home.
For a wake in Whitton, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest, though home can work with a drive. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A formal meal does not always suit. Fish and chips lets people mingle. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Whitton hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Rain does not stop the fryers
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Late-December sunset in Whitton is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Common questions in Whitton
What’s the nearest station to Whitton?
Whitton has its own station: Whitton station.
Could you trade in Crane Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What if the service runs late?
We plan for delays. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Can you come to the house?
Frequently, yes. Send us a photo of the drive or the road outside.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Where do you take the van?

- How long we serve
- The number of meals
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Whitton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
