How our funeral and wake catering works in Nyton
Your funeral director or a family friend can deal with us directly, so you have one less thing to do. Typical bookings include wakes at venues and gatherings after scattering ashes, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a wake near Nyton, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Late-December sunset in Nyton is about 4:00pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Nyton: halls, homes and travel
Nyton is about 4 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Across the PO20 area, we can fry fresh for your guests. Nyton is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 24 miles away.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

- Funeral directors can help with numbers
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
What else we do in Nyton
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Nyton: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at Westergate Mission Hall?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
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 take it from there.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
