Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in North Aston
Is North Aston too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How do we estimate numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in North Aston?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wake and we will send a quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including North Aston.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
Ensure older relatives can sit to eat.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
