Book the van in Linton
After a funeral in Linton
Linton is about 3 miles south of Maidstone, in Kent. In and around Linton, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. Linton is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 25 miles away.
For a service at a church like St Nicholas Church, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Linton, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
This part of Kent takes in ME17. Streets in the area include Wheeler's Lane, Vicarage Fields and Linton Hill, and the van can serve a wake on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Other places close to Linton we cover include Boughton Green (1 mile north-east), Loose (1 mile north), Boughton Monchelsea (2 miles north-east), Wierton (2 miles east) and Park Wood (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Maidstone (3 miles north), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-east), Sevenoaks (15 miles west), Royal Tunbridge Wells (12 miles south-west), Tonbridge (10 miles west) and Kings Hill (6 miles north-west).
Well-known places in the area include Kent Fire Brigade Museum (2.9 miles north) and The Mall Maidstone (3.9 miles north).

Funeral and wake catering in Linton, fried fresh
We work quietly and simply. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. Whether it is gatherings after the committal and anniversary memorials, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In a small place like Linton, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

For event organisers in Linton
For big groups, the service window matters, 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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Linton?

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Late-December sunset in Linton is about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:15pm.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Mention allergies you know about
- Ensure older relatives can sit
- Ask the venue about the van
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
Afterwards, we leave quietly.
Have napkins and bins ready.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
