A chip van compared with other options
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works at home or at a hall. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Funeral and wake catering in Northfleet Green, cooked to order
We cook as people come up, after a long, cold day. For life celebrations and a favourite meal in someone’s memory, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas and more.

For event organisers in Northfleet Green
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Questions from Northfleet Green
Is Northfleet Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, that’s common.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We will work to your contact on the day.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What if we do not know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Northfleet Green; make sure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
