How our funeral and wake catering works in North Lee
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. Typical bookings include gatherings after the committal and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like North Lee, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Late-December sunset in North Lee is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- 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.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
