Funeral and wake catering for Sheet's Heath events
How our funeral and wake catering works in Sheet's Heath
We cook as people come up. We’re frequently asked to cater family meals after the service and scattering of ashes gatherings, with sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
In rural Sheet's Heath, home or the hall is usual. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Where the van can park in Sheet's Heath
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips

Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
