How our funeral and wake catering works in Wheeler End
We keep it calm and simple. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you’re ready. Typical bookings include gatherings after the committal and small family memorials, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wake near Wheeler End, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In winter, it is dark in Wheeler End by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you take everything away?

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
