Fresh fish and chips in Deerton Street
About our funeral and wake catering in Deerton Street
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. For wakes at home and celebrations of life, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy.
In rural Deerton Street, home or the hall is usual. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Which station is closest to Deerton Street?
Teynham station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Ask the venue about the van
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
We serve when people are ready, not to a rigid schedule.
Photos or a memory book give people something to share.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Deerton Street?
For a simple, comforting meal at a wake, fish and chips from a van works well in Deerton Street. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
