Funeral and wake catering in Silver Street, cooked to order
We understand that timings on the day can move, so we stay flexible. For wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and anniversary memorials, we can cook gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Silver Street, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Mention allergies you know about
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Plan seating for older guests
- Ask the venue about the van
Afterwards, we leave quietly.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
