Funeral and wake catering in Codmore Hill, cooked to order

How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Summer evenings in Codmore Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare

Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your wake, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, fill in our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
