Arranging a wake in Sherington
Sherington is about 2 miles north-east of Newport Pagnell, in Milton Keynes. Sherington is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We cover all 73 towns and villages in Milton Keynes. We serve events right across the region, from Sherington to Milton Keynes (about 6 miles away).
Wherever your wake is in MK16, we can fry fresh for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a wake at a home on Church Road, High Street and Church End or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to wakes in Emberton (2 miles north), Tyringham (2 miles west), Weston Underwood (3 miles north-west), Olney (3 miles north) and Stoke Goldington (4 miles north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Milton Keynes (6 miles south-west), Bletchley (8 miles south), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (8 miles south), Furzton (8 miles south), Whitehouse (7 miles south-west) and Middleton (5 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Newport Pagnell Castle (1.8 miles south) and Newport Pagnell Historical Society Museum (2 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Tongwell Lake and Little Linford Wood.
- Pubs nearby include The Old Castle pub (under half a mile south-west)
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Plan for a few extra people
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Next to a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

For event organisers in Sherington
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
FAQs for Sherington
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Laud?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Sherington.

What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. A wake in Sherington in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat
