Funeral and wake catering for Bepton events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Funeral and wake catering in Bepton, cooked to order
It’s an informal meal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. Typical bookings include gatherings at a village hall or club and a tribute meal, with mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips.
Near Bepton, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Bepton
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Bepton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Yes. We serve when people are ready.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Let us know of any allergies
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
