Funeral and wake catering in Angmering
For event organisers in Angmering

Funeral and wake catering in Angmering, fried fresh
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are often booked for a wake at the family home and a favourite meal in someone’s memory.
In Angmering, the hall is often where people gather. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Where the van can park in Angmering
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Late-December sunset in Angmering is about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
