Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
A chip van compared with other options
For warm food after a funeral, fish and chips from a van works well. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Food your guests will love

FAQs for Rush Green
Can you serve after a service at St Francis?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Rush Green from London?
About 19 miles from central London.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What if we do not know numbers?
It’s hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Yes. We start when you’re ready.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sure older relatives can sit
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Build in time for delays
Remember the journey from the service when choosing a serving time.
