How we price fish and chips for the wake
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van

For event organisers in Ledborough
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Questions from Ledborough
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Ledborough?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do we estimate numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked 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. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Build in time for delays
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
A table of photos helps people talk.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Ledborough is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
