Funeral and wake catering in Jordans, fried fresh
We work quietly and simply. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. We are often asked to cater celebrations of life and gatherings after scattering ashes, serving gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In a small place like Jordans, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A sit-down meal can feel formal. Fish and chips lets people mingle. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why book with us
- All the chip-shop extras
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
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.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the hall has an urn
- Ensure older relatives can sit
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Mention allergies you know about
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
A table of photos helps people talk.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your wake, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Jordans questions
Which station is closest to Jordans?
Seer Green & Jordans station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes. We’re happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What if we don’t know numbers?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Late-December sunset in Jordans is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Ensure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
