About our funeral and wake catering in Kingswood
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. Whether it is gatherings after scattering ashes and anniversary memorials, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In rural Kingswood, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
After a funeral in Kingswood
Kingswood is about 7 miles east of Bicester, in Buckinghamshire. From the centre of Kingswood to the outskirts, we offer the same service: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. We take the van to 263 places across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We serve events right across the region, from Kingswood to Oxford (about 13 miles away).
Anywhere in HP18, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. From Grendon Road and Kingswood Lane or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Close by, we cover wakes in Westcott (2 miles south-east), Quainton (3 miles east), Ashendon (3 miles south), Waddesdon (4 miles south-east) and Wormstone (4 miles south-east).

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Kingswood questions
Is Kingswood close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Kingswood too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How many people should we cater for?
Give us your best estimate, and we will plan with a little extra.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan seating for older guests
- Let us know of any allergies
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Allow a little extra
We arrive in good time and park discreetly.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venues offer wake menus. A van works at home or at a hall. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
