Funeral and wake catering for Bullbrook events
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Bullbrook
Fish and chips is informal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. For gatherings at a village hall or club and remembrance gatherings, we can cook mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips.
For a wake in a place like Bullbrook, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. 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.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
