About our funeral and wake catering in Tyler Hill
We keep it calm and simple. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you’re ready. Whether it is celebrations of life and pub wakes, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In rural Tyler Hill, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

What else we do in Tyler Hill
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why Tyler Hill hosts choose us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Bookings across Kent, including Tyler Hill
- Hot food handed straight over

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
Tyler Hill questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Tyler Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How many people should we cater for?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
Can the van come to Tyler Hill?
We do. Tyler Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, that is common.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
