What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In summer, a wake in Skittle Green has light until about 9:25pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they do not, or at home. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Cannot 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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
