Funeral and wake catering in Bromley Green, fried fresh
We keep it calm and simple. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. For family meals after the service and gatherings at home after a funeral, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Plan for a few extra people

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Common questions in Bromley Green
Is Bromley Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What if timings change?
Yes. We serve when people are ready.
What if we do not know numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in Bromley Green is about 7:00pm in late September and about 3:50pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues frequently 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 work through them with you.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
