About our funeral and wake catering in Bellfields
We understand that timings on the day can move, so we stay flexible. We are frequently asked to cater memorial gatherings and gatherings at home after a funeral, serving gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In Bellfields, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Let us know where the van can go. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What affects the price in Bellfields
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- How far we travel
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

Other occasions in Bellfields
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Bellfields is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Bellfields

About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Bellfields?
London Road (Guildford) station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We will agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
