Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Everton
We keep it calm and simple. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. We’re frequently asked to cater small family memorials and gatherings at home after a funeral, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In rural Everton, home or the hall is usual. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A spot near your guests
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Everton
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips

What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Everton is about 7:10pm in late September and about 4:05pm in December; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- Get in touch 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.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Everton
Do you come out to small places like Everton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes. We are happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
