How our funeral and wake catering works in Amport
Someone else can make the booking for you. Whether it is memorial gatherings and gatherings at home after a funeral, we will put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
For a wake near Amport, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Plan for a few extra people
We park quietly.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Common questions in Amport
What’s the nearest station to Amport?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Is Amport close to London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Amport.
What if we do not know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
What if the service runs late?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Give us the details of your wake, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
