About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Ensure older relatives can sit
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Winkfield Street
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How do we estimate numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
