We cook as people come up. Whether it is remembering a loved one’s favourite food and wakes at church halls and clubs, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and gravy for your guests.
Wakes in Limmo Peninsula are frequently at home, a church hall or a pub with a yard. We need somewhere the van can park legally and safely, which we can help you think through. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Ask the venue about the van
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
We start when you give the word, not to a rigid schedule.
Have napkins and bins ready.
How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wake. The frying and serving are down to us. In winter, it is dark in Limmo Peninsula by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Get permission for the van from the venue
