Funeral and wake catering in Flansham, cooked to order
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. We’re frequently asked to cater a tribute meal and gatherings at home after a funeral, serving gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Flansham
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Flansham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Often, yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you cover Flansham?
We do. Flansham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
