Funeral and wake catering for Mursley events
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
About our funeral and wake catering in Mursley
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite. We’re frequently asked to cater celebrations of life and wakes at venues, with gravy, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Mursley, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Late-December sunset in Mursley is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Other occasions in Mursley
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s 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.
