About our funeral and wake catering in Frogham
Fish and chips is informal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. For memorial gatherings and wakes at church halls and clubs, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
For a wake near Frogham, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Frogham?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Frogham: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Frogham?
The closest is Snowdown station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, that’s common.
What if we do not know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Step by step

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
