- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Each quote is put together for your wake. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Eyhorne Street: your questions answered
How far is Eyhorne Street from London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Eyhorne Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, many families prefer that.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Eyhorne Street.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Build in time for delays
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.

What else we do in Eyhorne Street
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Perfect for your wake in Eyhorne Street
There’s no kitchen work for anyone.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Wakes at a pub or venue with outside space
- A favourite meal in someone’s memory
- Village hall wakes
- Small family memorials
After a service at All Saints Church, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.
What your quote should include
- Whether travel is included
- What the price includes, item by item
- The deadline for final numbers
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they do not, or at home. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What you get with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Events in Eyhorne Street and across Kent
- No kitchen needed
Step by step

- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
