Funeral and wake catering in Bagmore, cooked to order
We serve wakes at homes, halls, clubs and venues, wherever the van can park. Typical bookings include anniversary memorials and remembering a loved one’s favourite food, with mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips.
For a wake near Bagmore, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In summer, a wake in Bagmore has light until about 9:25pm, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Bagmore
Which station is closest to Bagmore?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes. Send us a picture of the drive or the road outside.
