Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Weedon
Funerals are often arranged at short notice, so ask as soon as you have the date. For wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and gatherings at a village hall or club, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
In a small place like Weedon, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. Late-December sunset in Weedon is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- We park discreetly and fry fresh as people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A short walk from the party
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Common questions in Weedon
How far is Weedon from London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Is Weedon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, many families prefer that.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Weedon?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. A hot meal can be more comforting, especially in winter. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
