About our funeral and wake catering in Borough Green
Services often run over, so we stay flexible. We are often asked to cater a favourite meal in someone’s memory and wakes at home, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wake in a place like Borough Green, the village hall is frequently the heart of it. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A sit-down meal can feel formal. A van keeps it relaxed. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Why book with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
