How our funeral and wake catering works in Seer Green
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered. We serve sausage and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and we’re often booked for family gatherings after a burial or cremation and a tribute meal.
For a wake near Seer Green, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In winter, it’s dark in Seer Green by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or HP9 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
Some venues offer wake menus. A van works where they don’t, or at home. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Questions from Seer Green
How far is Seer Green from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
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’ll gather.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

Can you come to the house?
Yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Mention allergies you know about
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
Remember the journey from the service when choosing a serving time.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
