Fresh fish and chips in Badger Farm
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Badger Farm
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered, which makes it a fitting tribute. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater a wake at the family home and gatherings at a village hall or club.
In Badger Farm, the hall is often where people gather, and its car park suits the van. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Questions from Badger Farm

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.

Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We plan for delays. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
