How our funeral and wake catering works in Green Street Green
We cook as people come up. Typical bookings include life celebrations and a wake at the family home, serving gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Near Green Street Green, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
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.
