Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Funeral and wake catering in Fulmer, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when people arrive, after a long, cold day. Typical bookings include gatherings after the committal and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Fulmer, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
We arrive in good time and park discreetly.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Late-December sunset in Fulmer is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
