About our funeral and wake catering in Crondall
We work quietly and simply. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. Typical bookings include anniversary memorials and remembering a loved one’s favourite food, with gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For a wake near Crondall, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Crondall, it is dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
