Funeral and wake catering for Hedsor events
About our funeral and wake catering in Hedsor
We serve wakes at homes, halls, clubs and venues, wherever the van can park. For a tribute meal and anniversary memorials, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
For a wake near Hedsor, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer evenings in Hedsor stay light until about 9:25pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

FAQs for Hedsor
Can you serve after a service at Cores End United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Hedsor too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What if the service runs late?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know of any allergies
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Build in time for delays
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
A table of photos helps people talk.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
