Fresh fish and chips in Micklefield
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. A hot meal can be more comforting, especially in winter. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What you get with us
- No kitchen needed
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- No surprises in your quote
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

How our funeral and wake catering works in Micklefield
We work quietly and simply. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you’re ready. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for wakes at a pub or venue with outside space and gatherings at a village hall or club.
For a wake in a place like Micklefield, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Micklefield
Is Micklefield close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at St Andrew's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll let you know quickly.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
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. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A photo of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Late-December sunset in Micklefield is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
