How our funeral and wake catering works in Muddles Green
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. Typical bookings include wakes at venues and a wake at the family home, with mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy.
In rural Muddles Green, home or the hall is usual. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Step by step
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Muddles Green is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Let us know of any allergies
Ensure older relatives can sit to eat.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
