About our funeral and wake catering in Bramber
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered, which makes it a fitting tribute. Whether it’s anniversary memorials and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips and more.
In rural Bramber, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Late-December sunset in Bramber is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Common questions in Bramber
What’s the nearest station to Bramber?
Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 4.1 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you trade in Hillside Park (parke sa Hiniusang Gingharian)?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How do we estimate numbers?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
