Common questions in Bradwell
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Lawrence: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Bradwell?
Milton Keynes Central station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Bradwell
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. For memorial events and anniversaries and wakes at home, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
For a wake in a place like Bradwell, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
