Fresh fish and chips in Tutt Hill
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Funeral and wake catering in Tutt Hill, fried fresh
Someone else can make the booking for you, so you have one less thing to do. Typical bookings include remembrance gatherings and a wake at the family home, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In rural Tutt Hill, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
