Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Plan seating for older guests
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Let us know of any allergies
We start when you give the word.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
