Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Allow a little extra
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. A van takes that off your hands. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your wake.
Why book with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Hot food handed straight over
- A clear quote before booking
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
See how we price or the cost guide.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Summer evenings in Sibertswold stay light until about 9:15pm, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
