About our funeral and wake catering in North Newington
Someone else can make the booking for you. Whether it’s small family memorials and pub wakes, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
In rural North Newington, home or the hall is usual. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in North Newington
Is North Newington 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.
Is North Newington close to London?
About 67 miles from central London.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including North Newington.
Can you come to the house?
Yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Allow for the service running over
- Ask the venue about the van
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Late-December sunset in North Newington is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:30pm.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
- We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
