Funeral and wake catering in Bledington
How our funeral and wake catering works in Bledington
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so contact us as soon as you can. Typical bookings include remembrance gatherings and gatherings at home after a funeral, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In a small place like Bledington, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Bledington
Which station is closest to Bledington?
The closest is Kingham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you cover Bledington?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Bledington and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Late-December sunset in Bledington is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 typically simpler.
Perfect for your wake in Bledington
There is little waste, because food is cooked to order.

The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Haddock and chips
