Funeral and wake catering for Weston Turville events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
About our funeral and wake catering in Weston Turville
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly. Whether it is gatherings after scattering ashes and life celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
For a wake in a place like Weston Turville, the village hall is often the heart of it. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Common questions in Weston Turville
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Weston Turville?
The closest is Stoke Mandeville station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you cook in the rain?

Can our funeral director book for us?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
