Funeral and wake catering for your wake in World's End
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. We are frequently asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and anniversary memorials, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
For a wake in World's End, a hall or club with a car park is often simplest, though home can work with a drive. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Common questions in World's End
Which station is closest to World's End?
Grange Park station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
What about parking in World's End?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What if the service runs late?
We plan for delays. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A formal meal does not always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
As a London location, World's End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
