A chip van near Kenton
How it works
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. A wake in Kenton in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm 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.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Kenton questions
Can the van park in Preston Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.

Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
