About the food
Haddock and chips

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Berrick Salome: your questions answered
Is Berrick Salome too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Berrick Salome close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, 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.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
Give us a contact for the day who is not a close family member.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
