DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

We understand that timings on the day can move, and we’ll work around the service and the family. Whether it’s gatherings after the committal and memorial events and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Chilton Green, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Chilton Green: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Chilton Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What if we don’t know numbers?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What if the service runs late?
We allow for it. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
