Fresh fish and chips in Spanish Green
Funeral and wake catering in Spanish Green, fried fresh
We understand that timings on the day can move, and we will work around the service and the family. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for gatherings after scattering ashes and gatherings at a village hall or club.
In rural Spanish Green, home or the hall is usual. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
