Funeral and wake catering in Pinkneys Green, cooked to order
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly. We are often asked to cater wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and family meals after the service, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In Pinkneys Green, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about parking for the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
