Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

After a funeral in North Boarhunt
North Boarhunt is about 4 miles north-east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Give us the address of your wake in North Boarhunt, and we’ll plan access and set-up before the day. We serve 683 places in Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 11 miles away.
If the funeral is at a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
For wakes in PO17, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests.

Close by, we cover wakes in Hundred Acres (1 mile north-west), Wickham Common (1 mile west), Boarhunt (2 miles south), Crockerhill (2 miles south-west) and Southwick (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Winchester (14 miles north-west), Gosport (6 miles south), Havant (7 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north-west), Fareham (4 miles south-west) and Horndean (6 miles east).

North Boarhunt questions
Do you come out to small places like North Boarhunt?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to North Boarhunt?
The closest is Portchester station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask the venue about the van
- Allow for the service running over
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
We start when you give the word.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
