How our funeral and wake catering works in Myrke
We keep it calm and simple. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater wakes at church halls and clubs and gatherings after the committal.
For a wake near Myrke, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Allow a little extra
- Keep the serving time flexible
We arrive in good time and park discreetly.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Questions from Myrke
Can the van park in Herschel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Myrke 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.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Myrke?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
Do you cover Myrke?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Myrke and across Slough. Send us your date to check availability.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Why choose funeral and wake catering in Myrke?
It is one less thing to organise.
In Myrke and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Anniversary memorials
- Family meals after the service
- Scattering of ashes gatherings
- Wakes at a pub or venue with outside space

- What the price includes, item by item
- How much space the van takes up
- The deposit and payment dates
- How many hours the van serves
What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. A wake in Myrke in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
