Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Make sure older relatives can sit
- Plan for a few extra people
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
Where the van can park in Three Mills
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Three Mills is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
