Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Angel
We are gathering after a service at St Mark's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Angel?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they don’t, or at home. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Why us?
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Build in time for delays
- Let us know of any allergies
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
- Plan seating for older guests
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
A table of photos helps people talk.
