Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Who books funeral and wake catering in Northumberland Park?
For some families, it was a favourite meal.
Whatever the occasion in Northumberland Park, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:
- Wakes at church halls and clubs

- Remembering a loved one’s favourite food

After a service at St Paul's Church, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.
