Which station is closest to Round Street?

How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Round Street
Funerals are frequently arranged at short notice, so ask as soon as you have the date. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for a wake at the family home and village hall wakes.
For a wake near Round Street, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In winter, it is dark in Round Street by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
