Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Tubney
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. We’re often asked to cater village hall wakes and anniversary memorials, with gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
For a wake near Tubney, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

FAQs for Tubney
Is Tubney too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How quickly can you come?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so send us the date and we’ll answer straight away.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if we don’t know numbers?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In winter, it’s dark in Tubney by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
