Funeral and wake catering in Salford, cooked to order
We serve wakes at homes, halls, clubs and venues, wherever the van can park. For wakes at church halls and clubs and scattering of ashes gatherings, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips.
In rural Salford, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Build in time for delays
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Plan for a few extra people
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
We park quietly.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

We cover wakes in every part of the MK17 postcode area and the streets around it.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In summer, a wake in Salford has light until about 9:25pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
