How we price fish and chips for the wake
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges

Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Roughly how many people, including children
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For warm food after a funeral, fish and chips from a van works well. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How the day works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wake. The frying and serving are down to us. Late-December sunset in Best Beech Hill is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
