A chip van near Hedgerley
What comes out of the fryer

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

In a small place like Hedgerley, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Late-December sunset in Hedgerley is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
- We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Occasions we serve in Hedgerley
For some families, it was a favourite meal.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Gatherings after scattering ashes
- A favourite meal in someone’s memory
- Gatherings at a village hall or club
- Celebrations of life
If the funeral is at a church such as Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
