Fresh fish and chips in Fullerton
About our funeral and wake catering in Fullerton
Services often run over, and we will work around the service and the family. Popular choices include pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy, and we are regularly asked to cater memorial events and anniversaries and gatherings at a village hall or club.
In rural Fullerton, home or the hall is usual. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. In winter, it’s dark in Fullerton by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Let us know of any allergies
- Plan seating for older guests
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Fullerton
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Fullerton close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How many people should we cater for?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
