About our funeral and wake catering in Edgcott
We understand that timings on the day can move, so we stay flexible. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for remembering a loved one’s favourite food and family gatherings after a burial or cremation.
Near Edgcott, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is put together for your wake. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.

In Edgcott and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:

How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In winter, it is dark in Edgcott by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Where the van can park in Edgcott

- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Edgcott
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, and there’s less waste when numbers are uncertain. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Why book with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Classic food your guests already know
- A clear quote before you book
- Hot food handed straight over
See our prices page or the cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
After a funeral in Edgcott
Edgcott is about 6 miles east of Bicester, in Buckinghamshire. Wakes in Edgcott are planned around your venue and timings: a clear quote, an agreed spot for the van and food fried fresh on the day. Edgcott is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Edgcott to Oxford (about 14 miles away).
Wakes anywhere in HP18 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. Local streets include Buckingham Road, St Michaels Close and Lawn House Lane; a wake on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Other places close to Edgcott we cover include Grendon Underwood (1 mile south), Ludgershall (3 miles south), Blackthorn (4 miles south-west), Piddington (4 miles south-west) and Brill (6 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Aylesbury (10 miles south-east), Buckingham (7 miles north), Elmhurst (10 miles south-east), Southcourt (11 miles south-east), Princes Risborough (14 miles south-east) and Haydon Hill (9 miles south-east).
Green spaces nearby include Calvert Jubilee.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Questions from Edgcott
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Edgcott too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How many people should we cater for?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
