How our funeral and wake catering works in Quarrendon Estate
We understand that timings on the day can move, so we stay flexible. Typical bookings include family meals after the service and gatherings at home after a funeral, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
In Quarrendon Estate, the hall is frequently where people gather, and its car park suits the van. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
