Funeral and wake catering in Inhurst
About our funeral and wake catering in Inhurst
It is an informal meal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. For small family memorials and family meals after the service, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In rural Inhurst, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How we price fish and chips for the wake
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
- Cod, haddock or both
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Send us the date, the address or RG26 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Plan for a few extra people
- Choose a friend to be our contact
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
