Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Fewcott
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered. We’re frequently asked to cater memorial events and anniversaries and wakes at venues, serving gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wake near Fewcott, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. In winter, it’s dark in Fewcott by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:30pm.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
