What else we do in Heyshott Green
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen needed
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Heyshott Green
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St James: 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. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so send us the date and we’ll answer straight away.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Heyshott Green.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Allow a little extra
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
We arrive in good time and park discreetly.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer evenings in Heyshott Green stay light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
