Funeral and wake catering in Littleworth Corner, fried fresh
We cook as people come up. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for celebrations of life and wakes at church halls and clubs.
Near Littleworth Corner, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Plan seating for older guests
- Build in time for delays
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.

Do you come out to small places like Littleworth Corner?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll tell you right away whether we’re available.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
