Funeral and wake catering in Yiewsley, cooked to order
A wake needs warm, simple food. Fish and chips is familiar and comforting. For wakes at home and a tribute meal, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
In Yiewsley, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby, which we can help you think through. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Plan seating for older guests
- Mention allergies you know about
- Build in time for delays
Give us a contact for the day who isn’t a close family member.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
FAQs for Yiewsley
Could you trade in Northala Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve after a service at St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre?
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’ll gather.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

What else we do in Yiewsley
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works at home or at a hall. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?
- A clear quote before you book
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Where the van can park in Yiewsley
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
As a London location, Yiewsley 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’ll advise.
