The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. A wake in North Mundham in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Questions from North Mundham
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Stephen?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

The closest is Chichester station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What if we do not know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
