Funeral and wake catering in Streatley
Funeral and wake catering in Streatley, fried fresh
We serve wakes at homes, halls, clubs and venues, wherever the van can park. Whether it is celebrations of life and small family memorials, we will put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and pie and chips and more.
For a wake near Streatley, a farmhouse or village hall frequently 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’re up and running.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, 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.

Streatley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Streatley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can our funeral director book for us?
Yes, that is common.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Of course. We serve when people are ready.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Why choose funeral and wake catering in Streatley?
It’s one less thing to organise at a difficult time.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Memorial events and anniversaries
- Small family memorials
- Celebrations of life
- Wakes at home
If the funeral is at a church such as Church of St Mary, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
Questions to ask before you book
- When payment is due
- The van’s size and access needs
- Any minimum charge
- How allergens are handled
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Plan seating for older guests
- Plan for a few extra people
Ensure older relatives can sit to eat.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.

What affects the price in Streatley
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- How far we travel
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
