About funeral and wake catering in Bracknell Forest

Someone else can make the booking for you. Typical bookings include family meals after the service and gatherings at home after a funeral, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts.

  1. You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
  3. We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
  4. We park discreetly and fry fresh as people arrive.
  5. We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.

What you’ll pay

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Wake catering across Bracknell Forest

From Bracknell, Sandhurst and Wick Hill to small villages, wakes in Bracknell Forest are normally at home or a local hall. We need somewhere level to park close by.

Bracknell: For family travelling by train, Bracknell station serves Bracknell directly. With the A322 and A329 nearby, it is easy for family travelling by car to reach Bracknell. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Bracknell; plan a lit path from the door to the van.

Who books funeral and wake catering?

It works for everyone, from children to older relatives.

Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:

  • Village hall wakes
  • A tribute meal
  • Small family memorials
  • Family gatherings after a burial or cremation

Before you choose a spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • Flat, firm ground for the van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome.

Comparing caterers

  • The service time, and the cost of running over
  • Any minimum charge
  • The deadline for final numbers
  • Whether travel is included

For planners, venues and organisers

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Plan seating for older guests
  • Check the hall has an urn
  • Funeral directors can help with numbers
  • Choose a friend to be our contact

Remember the journey from the service when choosing a serving time.

Photos or a memory book give people something to share.

Questions from Bracknell Forest

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

What if we don’t know numbers?

Start with a rough number, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.

Do you have a kids’ option?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

What happens if it rains?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Is grass a problem?

Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
