Funeral and wake catering for Farley Green events
A chip van compared with other options
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they do not, or at home. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Farley Green
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. We serve cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for a tribute meal and family meals after the service.
In rural Farley Green, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In autumn and winter, it is dark early in Farley Green; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
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. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan for a few extra people
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Allow for the service running over
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
