The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

A formal meal does not always suit. Fish and chips lets people mingle. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Quick service from the hatch

How we price fish and chips for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Lower Morden questions
Could you trade in Cannon Hill Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Is parking a problem for the van in Lower Morden?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
How many people should we cater for?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if timings change?
We plan for delays. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
