Funeral and wake catering in Wingham Green, cooked to order
A wake needs warm, simple food. Fish and chips is familiar and comforting. We are frequently asked to cater wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and a wake at the family home, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
In a small place like Wingham Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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 usually simpler.
The menu, dish by dish
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.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A formal meal does not always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your wake is.

Families holding a service at St Mary's Church frequently gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the van can park.

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Wingham Green is about 7:00pm in late September and about 3:50pm in December; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
