How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your wake in Jury's Gap. A wake in Jury's Gap in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
