The process
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A wake in Carpenders Park in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your wake. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
