What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Furner's Green
We serve wakes at homes, halls, clubs and venues. For a tribute meal and pub wakes, we can cook mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wake near Furner's Green, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Common questions in Furner's Green
How far is Furner's Green from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van come to Furner's Green?
We do. We serve events in Furner's Green and across East Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
