Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Make sure older relatives can sit
- Ask the venue about the van

Funeral and wake catering in Lowford, fried fresh
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite. Typical bookings include gatherings after scattering ashes and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, with pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
In Lowford, the hall is often where people gather. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
