Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
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.

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Questions from Delly End
Do you come out to small places like Delly End?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Delly End?
Finstock station, about 2.6 miles north of the centre.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How many people should we cater for?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We will let you know quickly.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
