About our funeral and wake catering in Stockbridge
After a funeral, people want somewhere to gather and something comforting to eat. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. Whether it’s pub wakes and memorial gatherings, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a wake near Stockbridge, a farmhouse or village hall often works well, with the van in the yard or car park. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Where you’d like the van to go
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your wake, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, use our quote form.

- Ask the venue about the van

When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Photos or a memory book give people something to share.

Stockbridge questions
How far is Stockbridge from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, many families prefer that.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a simple, comforting meal at a wake, a chip van is a gentle choice. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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’s crisp.
Where the van can park in Stockbridge
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Stockbridge

Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
