Funeral and wake catering in Slough Green, fried fresh
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. Whether it is small family memorials and a favourite meal in someone’s memory, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
For a wake near Slough Green, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

FAQs for Slough Green
How far is Slough Green from London?
About 33 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Slough Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if timings change?
We plan for delays. We will work to your contact on the day.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Plan seating for older guests
Remember the journey from the service when choosing a serving time.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. We do the cooking. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book our van in Slough Green
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Classic food your guests already know
- All the chip-shop extras
- A clear quote before you book
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
