Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, and there is less waste when numbers are uncertain. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
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 larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your wake. In summer, a wake in Nuptown has light until about 9:25pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.

Nuptown: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Nuptown 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.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What food do you serve?
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.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, that’s common.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
