Funeral and wake catering in Hannington, cooked to order

Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so ask as soon as you have the date. Whether it is family meals after the service and remembering a loved one’s favourite food, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.

In a small place like Hannington, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How the day works

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your wake. In autumn and winter, it is dark early in Hannington; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.

It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.

Common questions in Hannington

How far is Hannington from London?

Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do you come out to small places like Hannington?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

Can you cater a wake at short notice?

We understand the timescales, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

Where can the van park?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Should I sort the food myself?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?

Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
