How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Summer evenings in Brize Norton stay light until about 9:30pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why choose funeral and wake catering in Brize Norton?

Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
