Funeral and wake catering in Seal, cooked to order
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. Typical bookings include life celebrations and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In a small place like Seal, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Seal
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Seal close to London?
About 20 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Frequently, yes. Send us a picture of the drive or the road outside.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
