Fresh fish and chips in Biggin Hill
Funeral and wake catering in Biggin Hill, cooked to order
Someone else can make the booking for you, so you have one less thing to do. We’re frequently asked to cater memorial events and anniversaries and small family memorials, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wake in Biggin Hill, a hall or club with a car park is frequently simplest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
