Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Littleton
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. For village hall wakes and a wake at the family home, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
In a small place like Littleton, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Parking and the way in
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Late-December sunset in Littleton is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- We park discreetly and fry fresh as people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Events in Littleton and across Surrey
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Littleton: your questions answered
Is Littleton close to London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
Ensure older relatives can sit to eat.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
