Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Remenham
We work quietly and simply. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you are ready. For pub wakes and memorial gatherings, we can cook haddock and chips, gravy and mushy peas for your guests.
In rural Remenham, home or the hall is usual. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Where the van can park in Remenham
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

FAQs for Remenham
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Of course. We start when you’re ready.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan for a few extra people
- Mention allergies you know about
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
We park quietly before guests return from the service.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer evenings in Remenham stay light until about 9:25pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
