Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Funeral and wake catering in Egham Hythe, cooked to order
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. Fish and chips is familiar and comforting. We serve gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for family meals after the service and small family memorials.
In Egham Hythe, the hall is frequently where people gather. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Summer evenings in Egham Hythe stay light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
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.
