Funeral and wake catering in Longmoor, fried fresh
We keep it calm and simple. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. For village hall wakes and gatherings after scattering ashes, we can cook haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For a wake near Longmoor, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Longmoor: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Longmoor?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you come to the house?
Frequently, yes. Send us a picture of the drive or the road outside.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Longmoor: halls, homes and travel

We take the van to 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Longmoor to Guildford (18 miles away).
The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Longmoor, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
Here we cover the GU33 postcode area, and we can serve your wake anywhere in it. That could mean a wake at a home on Woolmer Road, Roberts Road and Methuen Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to wakes in Greatham (1 mile west), Woolmer (1 mile north-west), Liss Forest (2 miles south-west), The Mint (2 miles south) and Blackmoor (2 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Havant (15 miles south), Fleet (14 miles north), Horndean (13 miles south-west), Aldershot (13 miles north), Alton (7 miles north-west) and Waterlooville (15 miles south-west).

Before you choose a spot

What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Late-December sunset in Longmoor is about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Allow for the service running over
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Allow a little extra
We park quietly before guests return from the service.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
