Funeral and wake catering in Moor Street, fried fresh
We work quietly and simply. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. We’re often asked to cater a tribute meal and wakes at church halls and clubs, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
In rural Moor Street, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Questions from Moor Street
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Moor Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is short notice a problem?
Ask as soon as you have the date. We’ll let you know quickly.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if timings change?
Yes. We serve when people are ready.
Do you cover Moor Street?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Moor Street. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Summer evenings in Moor Street stay light until about 9:15pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
