About our funeral and wake catering in Little Kingshill
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite. Typical bookings include wakes at home and family meals after the service, with pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In a small place like Little Kingshill, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Allow for the service running over
- Check the hall has an urn
- Make sure older relatives can sit
Give us a contact for the day who isn’t a close family member.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Late-December sunset in Little Kingshill is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
