About our funeral and wake catering in Findon Valley
Sometimes fish and chips was the favourite meal of the person being remembered, which makes it a fitting tribute. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are frequently booked for family meals after the service and gatherings at a village hall or club.
For a wake in a place like Findon Valley, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What the van needs
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Findon Valley?
A sit-down meal can feel formal. A van keeps it relaxed. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
