Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Brockhill
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and family meals after the service, with cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In rural Brockhill, home or the hall is usual. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer evenings in Brockhill stay light until about 9:25pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
