A fish and chip van or other catering?
Some venues offer wake menus. A van works at home or at a hall. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.

The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In winter, it’s dark in Hall's Green by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Organising for someone else?

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Hall's Green questions
Can the van park in Bough Beech Reservoir?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Hall's Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is short notice a problem?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so send us the date and we’ll answer straight away.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A short walk from the party
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
