Funeral and wake catering in Knights Enham, cooked to order
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so ask as soon as you have the date. We are often asked to cater a favourite meal in someone’s memory and anniversary memorials, with gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
In rural Knights Enham, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
- Plan for a few extra people
- Ask the venue about the van
Remember the journey from the service.
Photos or a memory book give people something to share.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. A wake in Knights Enham in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- We park discreetly and fry fresh as people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
