How our funeral and wake catering works in Warren Corner
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so contact us as soon as you can. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for anniversary memorials and a favourite meal in someone’s memory.
In rural Warren Corner, home or the hall is usual. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. A hot meal can be more comforting, especially in winter. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- We cover Warren Corner and the whole of Surrey
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Perfect for your wake in Warren Corner
It takes one job off a very long list at a difficult time.
Whatever brings people together, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We regularly serve:
- Celebrations of life
- Memorial events and anniversaries
- Wakes at a pub or venue with outside space
- Family gatherings after a burial or cremation
If the funeral is at a church such as St Mary's Church, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
What your quote should include
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- How much space the van takes up
- The cancellation terms
- Any minimum charge
