Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. A wake in Copse Hill in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Takeaway run or book a 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a simple, comforting meal at a wake, fish and chips from a van works well. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

How we price fish and chips for the wake
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- A picture of where the van would go
