Funeral and wake catering in Stalisfield Green, fried fresh
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered. Whether it’s a favourite meal in someone’s memory and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy and more.
In rural Stalisfield Green, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.

How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Allow a little extra
- Check the hall has an urn
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
We arrive in good time and park discreetly before guests return from the service.
A table of photos helps people talk.
