Funeral and wake catering in Studley Green
Funeral and wake catering in Studley Green, fried fresh
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. Popular choices include gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re often booked for small family memorials and wakes at home.
In a small place like Studley Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
Each quote is put together for your wake. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
