A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

- Check the hall has an urn
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Allow for the service running over
We park quietly before guests return from the service.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Late-December sunset in Marsh Green is about 4:05pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
