How our funeral and wake catering works in Godden Green
We work quietly and simply. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for pub wakes and memorial events and anniversaries.
Near Godden Green, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A formal meal doesn’t always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Allow a little extra
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
We serve when people are ready.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
