How our funeral and wake catering works in Bisley
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. For a tribute meal and pub wakes, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy and more.
For a wake in a place like Bisley, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Bisley: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Bisley close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How quickly can you come?
Contact us as soon as you can. We’ll tell you straight away whether we are available.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How many people should we cater for?
Start with a rough number, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.

Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A spot near your guests
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wake in Bisley. Late-December sunset in Bisley is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
