Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Tiddington
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. We’re frequently asked to cater memorial gatherings and memorial events and anniversaries, with gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
Near Tiddington, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Let us know about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Tiddington questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Helen: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Tiddington close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
