Funeral and wake catering in Tyler's Green, fried fresh
We understand that timings on the day can move, so we stay flexible. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for memorial events and anniversaries and pub wakes.
In a small place like Tyler's Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Tyler's Green is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Ensure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Questions from Tyler's Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Tyler's Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What if we don’t know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
