Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Ravenstone
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when people arrive, after a long, cold day. We’re frequently asked to cater a tribute meal and gatherings at a village hall or club, serving gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
In rural Ravenstone, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Ravenstone
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ravenstone: your questions answered
How far is Ravenstone from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How do we estimate numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we will plan with a little extra.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, many families prefer that.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Your date and serving time
Each quote is put together for your wake. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
