How our funeral and wake catering works in Hunton
We understand that timings on the day can move, so we stay flexible. For gatherings after the committal and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
For a wake near Hunton, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Cater for a few more than you expect
We serve when people are ready, not to a rigid schedule.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
