Funeral and wake catering in Burley Street, fried fresh
Services often run over, and we’ll work around the service and the family. Whether it is village hall wakes and a wake at the family home, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Burley Street, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Summer evenings in Burley Street stay light until about 9:25pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 4:05pm, 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
