Fresh fish and chips in Nork
Funeral and wake catering in Nork, fried fresh
We keep it calm and simple. We park discreetly and serve when people are ready. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after scattering ashes and family meals after the service.
For a wake in a place like Nork, the village hall is frequently the heart of it. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer evenings in Nork stay light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- 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
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Nork: your questions answered
Is Nork close to London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Nork?
The closest is Banstead station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, many families prefer that.
