How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. In summer, a wake in Creekmouth has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The address or venue name
- Where the van would park
Each quote is put together for your wake. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.

Creekmouth questions
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Creekmouth?
The closest is Barking Riverside station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How quickly can you come?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so send us the date and we’ll answer straight away.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
