Funeral and wake catering in Mountfield, cooked to order
Funerals are frequently arranged at short notice, so ask as soon as you have the date. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater small family memorials and gatherings at a village hall or club.
For a wake near Mountfield, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A sit-down meal can feel formal. A van keeps it relaxed. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Build in time for delays
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Ensure older relatives can sit
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Sunset in Mountfield is about 7:00pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
