Funeral and wake catering for Winslow events
Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Winslow
Is Winslow close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Laurence?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is short notice a problem?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll let you know quickly.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What if timings change?
Yes. We serve when people are ready.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Cater for a few more than you expect
We arrive in good time and park discreetly before guests return from the service.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A sit-down meal can feel formal. A van keeps it relaxed. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
