About our funeral and wake catering in Ivybridge
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for pub wakes and a tribute meal.
In Ivybridge, a wake might be at home, a hall or a local pub. In London, the van needs off-road parking or a legal space nearby, which we can help you think through. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ensure older relatives can sit
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
We serve when people are ready, not to a rigid schedule.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they do not, or at home. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
As a London location, Ivybridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
