What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

FAQs for Felpham
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Felpham?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes. We’re happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How do we estimate numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Ensure older relatives can sit to eat.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wake. Late-December sunset in Felpham is about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
