Funeral and wake catering for your wake in West End Green
Services often run over, and we’ll work around the service and the family. For memorial gatherings and a favourite meal in someone’s memory, we can cook cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips for your guests.
In a small place like West End Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Why choose a fish and chip van in West End Green?
Some venues offer wake menus. A van works at home or at a hall. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wake is.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Let us know of any allergies
We start when you give the word.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
