Funeral and wake catering for North Warnborough events
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
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 nobody has to miss the wake.
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in North Warnborough
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered. For a favourite meal in someone’s memory and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, we can cook pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
For a wake near North Warnborough, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Check the hall has an urn
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Cater for a few more than you expect
We arrive in good time and park discreetly.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In winter, it is dark in North Warnborough by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
