Funeral and wake catering for Piddington events
Why choose a fish and chip van in Piddington?
Some venues offer wake menus. A van works where they don’t, or at home. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Quick service from the hatch
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

How our funeral and wake catering works in Piddington
Services often run over, so we stay flexible. On the menu are cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for life celebrations and remembrance gatherings.
In rural Piddington, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Questions from Piddington
What’s the nearest station to Piddington?
The closest is Bicester Village station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Piddington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wake and we’ll send a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer evenings in Piddington stay light until about 9:25pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
