Funeral and wake catering in Holmer Green
How our funeral and wake catering works in Holmer Green
Services often run over, so we stay flexible. Whether it is wakes at home and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, we will put together a menu of gravy, pie and chips and mushy peas.
For a wake in a place like Holmer Green, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan for a few extra people
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Mention allergies you know about
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
Remember the journey from the service when choosing a serving time.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
