Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Northmoor
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. Whether it’s small family memorials and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, we can cook sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In a small place like Northmoor, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Plan seating for older guests
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
Remember the journey from the service when choosing a serving time.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Northmoor is about 7:10pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.

- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How easy the site is to reach
