Funeral and wake catering in Sevington, fried fresh
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for a favourite meal in someone’s memory and gatherings at a village hall or club.
Near Sevington, wakes are frequently at home or in the hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Sevington?
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.

- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- We park discreetly and fry fresh as people arrive.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.

FAQs for Sevington
Which station is closest to Sevington?
Ashford International station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Can the van park in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you cover Sevington?
Yes, we do. Sevington is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can our funeral director book for us?
Yes, many families prefer that.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
