Funeral and wake catering for Peters Village events
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Peters Village
Funerals are frequently arranged at short notice, so ask as soon as you have the date. We are frequently asked to cater a favourite meal in someone’s memory and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In Peters Village, the hall is frequently where people gather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A formal meal doesn’t always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer evenings in Peters Village stay light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
