Funeral and wake catering in Cade Street, fried fresh
We understand that timings on the day can move, and we’ll work around the service and the family. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for remembrance gatherings and small family memorials.
In a small place like Cade Street, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
Send us the date, the address or TN21 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Questions from Cade Street
Do you come to venues in the High Weald 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.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is short notice a problem?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll tell you straight away whether we’re available.
How many people should we cater for?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Cade Street?
A sit-down meal can feel formal. A van keeps it relaxed. 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.
