Funeral and wake catering in Stonestreet Green
About our funeral and wake catering in Stonestreet Green
A wake needs warm, simple food. Fish and chips is familiar and comforting. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for wakes at church halls and clubs and gatherings at home after a funeral.
For a wake near Stonestreet Green, a farmhouse or village hall frequently works well. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Events in Stonestreet Green and across Kent
- No surprises in your quote
- Classic food your guests already know

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.

Questions from Stonestreet Green
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Stonestreet Green close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Check the hall has an urn
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
