Book the van in Flexford
Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In winter, it is dark in Flexford by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Tell us when you want to eat

About our funeral and wake catering in Flexford
Fish and chips is informal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for wakes at church halls and clubs and scattering of ashes gatherings.
In a small place like Flexford, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village 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.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Flexford: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Flexford?
Wanborough station, in Flexford itself.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can our funeral director book for us?
Yes, many families prefer that.
