How our funeral and wake catering works in Pitchcott
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. Typical bookings include anniversary memorials and scattering of ashes gatherings, serving pie and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
Near Pitchcott, wakes are often at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Questions from Pitchcott
Do you come out to small places like Pitchcott?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St. Giles?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can someone else arrange it?
Of course. We are happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
