Planning an event in Mud Row?
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
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.
Funeral and wake catering in Mud Row, fried fresh
Someone else can make the booking for you. Typical bookings include small family memorials and village hall wakes, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In rural Mud Row, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.

Mud Row questions
Is Mud Row close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van come to Mud Row?
We do. Mud Row is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Yes. We start when you are ready.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
Get in touch as soon as you can. We will tell you straight away whether we’re available.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

For planners, venues and organisers
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.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer evenings in Mud Row stay light until about 9:15pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
How to get a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The length of service
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
