Funeral and wake catering for Furzeley Corner events
How our funeral and wake catering works in Furzeley Corner
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. Whether it’s a wake at the family home and scattering of ashes gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
For a wake near Furzeley Corner, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Furzeley Corner?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
