Funeral and wake catering in Chinnor, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot when people arrive. Whether it is family gatherings after a burial or cremation and remembrance gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In Chinnor, the hall is frequently where people gather, and its car park suits the van. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Common questions in Chinnor
What’s the nearest station to Chinnor?
Princes Risborough station, about 3.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Chinnor close to London?
About 38 miles from central London.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Chinnor.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll plan with a little extra.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Allow for the service running over
- Mention allergies you know about
We park quietly before guests return from the service.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What a fish and chip van costs
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- Access and parking
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. A wake in Chinnor in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Let us know the serving time
