For event organisers in Wentworth
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Wentworth
We understand that timings on the day can move, so we stay flexible. For wakes at venues and a wake at the family home, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Wentworth, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Wakes in Wentworth: venues and practical details
Wentworth is about 3 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. Bookings in Wentworth come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. Wentworth is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Wentworth to Guildford (about 11 miles away).
If the funeral is at a church such as Christ Church, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
Wakes anywhere in GU25 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Whether your wake is on London Road, Wentworth Drive and Portnall Rise or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. We also bring the van to wakes in Virginia Water (1 mile east), Egham Wick (2 miles north), Stroude (2 miles north-east), Thorpe Green (2 miles east) and Englefield Green (2 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (11 miles south), Woking (6 miles south), Camberley (7 miles south-west), Epsom (15 miles east), Ewell (15 miles east) and Egham (3 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include St. Peter's Hospital (3.3 miles south-east) and Chobham Museum (3.7 miles south). Open spaces near Wentworth include Gracious Pond and St Ann's Hill.
Wentworth questions
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Wentworth?
The closest is Longcross station, roughly 1 mile away.
What if we don’t know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you come to Wentworth?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Wentworth is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Ensure older relatives can sit
We park quietly.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome, especially in winter. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- We cover Wentworth and the whole of Surrey
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Classic food your guests already know

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In winter, it’s dark in Wentworth by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or GU25 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
