Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Folkington
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of Saint Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Folkington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Allow for the service running over
- Let us know of any allergies
- Cater for a few more than you expect
Give us a contact for the day who isn’t a close family member.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
