About our funeral and wake catering in Bayworth
It is an informal meal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for village hall wakes and life celebrations.
For a wake near Bayworth, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Bayworth: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Bayworth?
The closest is Radley station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How far is Bayworth from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the wake be at home?
Frequently, yes. Send us a photo of the drive or the road outside.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you come to Bayworth?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Bayworth. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
