About our funeral and wake catering in Old Wolverton
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. For scattering of ashes gatherings and pub wakes, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, gravy and sausage and chips for your guests.
In Old Wolverton, the hall is frequently where people gather. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
