Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Wavendon

Services often run over, and we will work around the service and the family. Typical bookings include memorial gatherings and a wake at the family home, with gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas.

For a wake near Wavendon, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Prices and what affects them

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • How far we travel
  • Any minimum charge
  • Numbers
  • How easy the site is to reach

Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Where the van would park
  • Where the event is
  • Anything awkward about the way in

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Wavendon questions

What’s the nearest station to Wavendon?

Woburn Sands station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.

Do you come out to small places like Wavendon?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

What if we do not know numbers?

A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.

Do you cover Wavendon?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Wavendon and the rest of Milton Keynes. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Can you come to the house?

Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

What if timings change?

Yes. We serve when people are ready.

Organising for someone else?

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

How it works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Wavendon; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Before we arrive

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Ask for a quote

Each quote is put together for your wake. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
