How our funeral and wake catering works in Green Hailey
Someone else can make the booking for you, so you have one less thing to do. For memorial events and anniversaries and wakes at church halls and clubs, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Green Hailey, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why Green Hailey hosts choose us
- We cover Green Hailey and the whole of Buckinghamshire
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
For event organisers in Green Hailey
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Plan for a few extra people
We park quietly before guests return from the service.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.

What affects the price in Green Hailey
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your wake. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Late-December sunset in Green Hailey is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
