Funeral and wake catering for Madley Park events
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In summer, a wake in Madley Park has light until about 9:30pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

About our funeral and wake catering in Madley Park
Fish and chips is informal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. For gatherings at a village hall or club and life celebrations, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
In Madley Park, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about parking for the van. 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.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Build in time for delays
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
FAQs for Madley Park
Can you serve after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Madley Park from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How do we estimate numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Yes. We serve when people are ready.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. 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.
