Funeral and wake catering in North Oxford, fried fresh
Services often run over, so we stay flexible. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for gatherings at home after a funeral and small family memorials.
In North Oxford, the hall is often where people gather. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
For event organisers in North Oxford

Questions from North Oxford
Is North Oxford close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Frequently, yes. Send us a picture of the drive or the road outside.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know of any allergies
- Plan seating for older guests
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
We serve when people are ready.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
