About our funeral and wake catering in Coxhill Green
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and life celebrations.
In rural Coxhill Green, home or the hall is usual. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your wake, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 is crisp.
Perfect for your wake in Coxhill Green
There’s little waste, because food is cooked to order.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. People in Coxhill Green book the van for occasions like:

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

We serve when people are ready.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.

Planning the van’s spot

- Flat, firm ground for the van

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
