On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wake. In Hunny Hill, it is dark by about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask the venue about the van
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Plan for a few extra people
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
Hunny Hill: your questions answered
Could you trade in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
Arranging a wake in Hunny Hill
Hunny Hill is about 1 mile north of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. For a wake in Hunny Hill, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Hunny Hill. Hunny Hill is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 15 miles away.
If the funeral is at a church such as The Man in the Moon, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short. The coast is within about 4 miles of Hunny Hill.
We take the van to wakes all over PO30, PO31 and PO41 and the streets around it. Local streets include Foxes Road, Chain Lane and Wilver Road; a wake on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
