How our funeral and wake catering works in Newell Green
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so contact us as soon as you can. For a tribute meal and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, we will put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Newell Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
