Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Newton Leys
Someone else can make the booking for you. For a favourite meal in someone’s memory and gatherings at a village hall or club, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
In Newton Leys, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about parking for the van. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A formal meal does not always suit. Fish and chips lets people mingle. 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.
Why us?
- Bookings across Milton Keynes, including Newton Leys
- No kitchen needed

Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Newton Leys, it’s dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
