Funeral and wake catering in Grange Park, cooked to order
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. For a wake at the family home and wakes at church halls and clubs, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
For a wake in Grange Park, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
