How our funeral and wake catering works in Letcombe Regis
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so ask as soon as you have the date. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater celebrations of life and village hall wakes.
For a wake near Letcombe Regis, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How far we travel
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
The cost per head typically 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.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.

How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Letcombe Regis is about 7:10pm in late September and about 4:00pm in December; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
