Funeral and wake catering in Goodworth Clatford, cooked to order
We serve wakes at homes, halls, clubs and venues, wherever the van can park. Typical bookings include wakes at church halls and clubs and gatherings at home after a funeral, with haddock and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, and there’s less waste when numbers are uncertain. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why book with us
- No kitchen needed
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras
- Quick service from the hatch

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
