How our funeral and wake catering works in Remenham Hill
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly. We’re frequently asked to cater remembering a loved one’s favourite food and a wake at the family home, with mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wake near Remenham Hill, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
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.

Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What do we need to supply?
