Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
About our funeral and wake catering in Luxted
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered, which makes it a fitting tribute. For family meals after the service and a tribute meal, we can cook sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas and more.
Wakes in Luxted are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
