Fresh fish and chips in Froyle
How our funeral and wake catering works in Froyle
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater a tribute meal and gatherings after scattering ashes.
In a small place like Froyle, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
For event organisers in Froyle
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

FAQs for Froyle
Which station is closest to Froyle?
The closest is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary of the Assumption?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is short notice a problem?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What if timings change?
We plan for delays. We will agree a serving time and stay flexible.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you cover Froyle?
We do. We serve events in Froyle and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. A wake in Froyle in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day
