Funeral and wake catering in Funtington
How our funeral and wake catering works in Funtington
Funerals are frequently arranged at short notice, so ask as soon as you have the date. We’re frequently asked to cater anniversary memorials and a wake at the family home, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
For a wake near Funtington, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Funtington is about 7:05pm in late September and about 4:00pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
