About our funeral and wake catering in Weston Underwood

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works at home or at a hall. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Weston Underwood
Do you come out to small places like Weston Underwood?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if the service runs late?
We plan for delays. We will agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so send us the date and we’ll answer right away.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
