Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Woolage Green
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for family gatherings after a burial or cremation and memorial gatherings.
In a small place like Woolage Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A formal meal doesn’t always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
