About our funeral and wake catering in Ashley Green
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. For pub wakes and scattering of ashes gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips and more.
In rural Ashley Green, home or the hall is usual. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
