Planning an event in Little Kimble?
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
About our funeral and wake catering in Little Kimble
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside. Typical bookings include gatherings after scattering ashes and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
For a wake near Little Kimble, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A sit-down meal can feel formal. A van keeps it relaxed. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.

Common questions in Little Kimble
Do you come out to small places like Little Kimble?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is short notice a problem?
Contact us as soon as you can. We will tell you right away whether we are available.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. See all areas.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wake. In winter, it is dark in Little Kimble by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
