Funeral and wake catering in Moulsford, fried fresh
Fish and chips is informal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. Whether it’s gatherings after scattering ashes and memorial gatherings, we can cook mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips and more.
In rural Moulsford, 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.

What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, a wake in Moulsford has light until about 9:25pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare

Moulsford: your questions answered
Is Moulsford close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Moulsford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Yes. We start when you’re ready.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We’re happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
How do we estimate numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

For event organisers in Moulsford
Venues often 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.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Mention allergies you know about
- Have chairs for those who need them

Remember the journey from the service.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
