About our funeral and wake catering in Weyhill
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings at home after a funeral and small family memorials, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In rural Weyhill, home or the hall is usual. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome, especially in winter. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why us?

- A menu almost everyone likes

What else we do in Weyhill
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Check the hall has an urn
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
