DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. Late-December sunset in South Mundham is about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planning help
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. Hot food can be more welcome, especially in winter. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
