Wake catering near Warfield Park
Warfield Park is about 1 mile east of Wick Hill, in Bracknell Forest. We cover Warfield Park as standard, so your wake just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Warfield Park is one of 41 towns and villages in Bracknell Forest where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Warfield Park to Reading (about 11 miles away).
If the funeral is at a church such as St Martin's Church, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
Wakes anywhere in RG42, RG12 and SL5 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wake at a home on Birch Lane, North Road and Long Hill Road, as long as there’s somewhere for the van.

The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, a wake in Warfield Park has light until about 9:25pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Tell us when you want to eat

FAQs for Warfield Park
What’s the nearest station to Warfield Park?
Martins Heron station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at St Martin's Church: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes. Send us a photo of the drive or the road outside.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
