How the day works

There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. In winter, it’s dark in Jennett's Park 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.

  1. We start with a few details about your wake.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Let us know the serving time
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Have a level parking spot ready

About the food

Curry sauce

Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

For planners, venues and organisers

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
