How our funeral and wake catering works in Frogmore
It’s an informal meal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. Whether it is village hall wakes and wakes at home, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
Around Frogmore, wakes are frequently at the village hall, a pub or home. Tell us about parking for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

What affects the price in Frogmore
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Expected numbers

- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name

Should I sort the food myself?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
