About our funeral and wake catering in New Haw
Services often run over, so we stay flexible. Typical bookings include anniversary memorials and wakes at home, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In New Haw, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Let us know where the van can go. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Any minimum charge
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Mention allergies you know about
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers

Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.

Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In summer, a wake in New Haw has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
