How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, and there is less waste when numbers are uncertain. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
