Funeral and wake catering in Frogham
About our funeral and wake catering in Frogham
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. We are often asked to cater scattering of ashes gatherings and wakes at venues, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a wake near Frogham, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Questions from Frogham
Do you come out to small places like Frogham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How quickly can you come?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We will tell you straight away whether we’re available.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Frogham?

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wake. In Frogham, it’s dark by about 7:10pm in late September and 4:05pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
