What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Late-December sunset in Hunt's Green is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
Make sure older relatives can sit to eat.
Some families add a favourite dessert or cake.
