Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Hot food handed straight over

Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
