A fish and chip van or other catering?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they do not, or at home. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
