A chip van near Faberstown
How our funeral and wake catering works in Faberstown
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for gatherings at a village hall or club and celebrations of life.
In rural Faberstown, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
