Funeral and wake catering for Conyer events
Funeral and wake catering in Conyer, cooked to order
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. We’re frequently asked to cater wakes at home and celebrations of life, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
For a wake near Conyer, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The minimum booking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
