Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Wildmoor
It’s an informal meal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. For celebrations of life and wakes at home, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy for your guests.

- A short walk from the party
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Check the hall has an urn
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Build in time for delays
We start when you give the word.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
- 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
