What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your wake, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Why choose funeral and wake catering in Breamore?
Nothing is wasted on an uncertain number of guests.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- A wake at the family home
- Memorial events and anniversaries
- A favourite meal in someone’s memory
- Family gatherings after a burial or cremation
After a service at St Boniface, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.

FAQs for Breamore
We are gathering after a service at St Boniface: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Breamore?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What if we don’t know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. Find your area.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
