How we price fish and chips for the wake
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Common questions in Streat
What’s the nearest station to Streat?
The closest is Plumpton station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Is Streat too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Streat?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Streat is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Occasions we serve in Streat
Nothing is wasted on an uncertain number of guests.
Almost any gathering works with a fish and chip van. In Streat, people book us for occasions like:
- Anniversary memorials
- Pub wakes
- Gatherings after scattering ashes
- Remembering a loved one’s favourite food
After a service at Streat Church, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone.
Questions to ask before you book
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- When payment is due
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
