Funeral and wake catering in Bopeep
How our funeral and wake catering works in Bopeep
We serve wakes at homes, halls, clubs and venues, wherever the van can park. Whether it is family gatherings after a burial or cremation and memorial gatherings, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In Bopeep, a hall with parking is frequently the easiest option. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Plan seating for older guests
- Check the hall has an urn
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
