About our funeral and wake catering in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. Typical bookings include gatherings after the committal and village hall wakes, serving gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas.
In a town like Bletchley and Fenny Stratford, a wake at the family home or the local hall is common. The van parks on the drive or in the car park. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Questions from Bletchley and Fenny Stratford
Can you serve after a service at Water Eaton Church Centre?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Bletchley and Fenny Stratford?
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford has its own station: Bletchley station.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How fast is service?

Of course. We start when you’re ready.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
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 normally simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
