Funeral and wake catering in Oakgrove, fried fresh
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater a tribute meal and gatherings at a village hall or club.
In Oakgrove, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Let us know where the van can go. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

What comes out of the fryer

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Questions from Oakgrove
Can the van park in Campbell Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Oakgrove close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the van would park
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

It suits all ages, from children to older relatives.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Gatherings after scattering ashes
- Remembering a loved one’s favourite food

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Oakgrove; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
