Funeral and wake catering in Milton Regis, fried fresh
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly. Typical bookings include remembrance gatherings and gatherings after the committal, serving gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Milton Regis, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Milton Regis is about 7:00pm in late September and about 3:50pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
