Funeral and wake catering for Pyle Hill events
How our funeral and wake catering works in Pyle Hill
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered, which makes it a fitting tribute. We serve gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for gatherings at home after a funeral and small family memorials.
For a wake near Pyle Hill, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Pyle Hill: your questions answered
Could you trade in Mayford Meadows?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Pyle Hill?
Pyle Hill has its own station: Worplesdon station.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your wake, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In winter, it is dark in Pyle Hill by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
