Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Chisbridge Cross
Food is fried to order, so it is hot when people arrive, after a long, cold day. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for memorial events and anniversaries and gatherings after the committal.
In rural Chisbridge Cross, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Chisbridge Cross questions
Is Chisbridge Cross close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Chisbridge Cross too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How do we estimate numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
How quickly can you come?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll let you know quickly.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Chisbridge Cross: halls, homes and travel
Chisbridge Cross is about 2 miles north-west of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Chisbridge Cross as standard, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Chisbridge Cross is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. You can also see our page for Reading, about 12 miles away.
Chisbridge Cross is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
For wakes in SL7, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. We also bring the van to wakes in Mundaydean Bottom (1 mile south-east), Marlow Common (1 mile south-east), Bovingdon Green (1 mile south-east), Bockmer End (2 miles south) and Danesfield (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Aylesbury (15 miles north), High Wycombe (4 miles north-east), Chesham (12 miles north-east), Amersham (11 miles north-east), Beaconsfield (8 miles east) and Chalfont St Peter (11 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Marlow Community Hospital (2.6 miles south-east) and High Wycombe Castle (4.1 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Carpenter's Wood.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. A hot meal can be more comforting, especially in winter. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
