Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Who books funeral and wake catering in Worminghall?
It suits all ages, from children to older relatives.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Worminghall
Is Worminghall close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the wake be at home?
Often, yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
