About our funeral and wake catering in Amen Corner
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered. We’re often asked to cater pub wakes and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, with sausage and chips, gravy and mushy peas.
For a wake in a place like Amen Corner, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

FAQs for Amen Corner
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mark?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Amen Corner from London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Bracknell Forest included. Find your area.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access and parking
- Service time
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.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
