How our funeral and wake catering works in Angmering-on-Sea
Services frequently run over, and we will work around the service and the family. Typical bookings include small family memorials and a wake at the family home, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Angmering-on-Sea, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan seating for older guests
- Ask the venue about the van
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

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.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- Numbers
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
