Funeral and wake catering in Nashes Green, fried fresh
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for memorial events and anniversaries and wakes at venues.
For a wake near Nashes Green, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Nashes Green?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. We do the cooking. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
