Funeral and wake catering in The Warren, cooked to order
We understand that timings on the day can move, so we stay flexible. We’re frequently asked to cater remembrance gatherings and wakes at home, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For a wake in a place like The Warren, the village hall is frequently the heart of it. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

For event organisers in The Warren
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they do not, or at home. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in The Warren
What’s the nearest station to The Warren?
The Warren has its own station: Martins Heron station.
We are gathering after a service at St Paul: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How many people should we cater for?
Start with a rough number, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
Can the van come to The Warren?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including The Warren and the rest of Bracknell Forest. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We are happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Allow for the service running over
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Ensure older relatives can sit
- Plan for a few extra people
Remember the journey from the service.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
