Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Yiewsley
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. On the menu are gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for pub wakes and a wake at the family home.
Wakes in Yiewsley are often at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Before you choose a spot

Yiewsley is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. A hot meal can be more comforting, especially in winter. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
