How our funeral and wake catering works in Glebe Farm
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. For wakes at church halls and clubs and anniversary memorials, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In Glebe Farm, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Let us know where the van can go. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they don’t, or at home. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What else we do in Glebe Farm
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Plan for a few extra people
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Check the hall has an urn
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your wake. In winter, it is dark in Glebe Farm by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Questions from Glebe Farm
Is Glebe Farm close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do we estimate numbers?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is short notice a problem?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We will let you know quickly.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Glebe Farm?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
