The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your wake. In summer, a wake in Street End has light until about 9:20pm, but in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

What else we do in Street End
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. 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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
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 price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book our van in Street End
- No kitchen needed
- Events in Street End and across West Sussex
- Quick service from the hatch
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
See our pricing and the cost guide.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Any minimum charge
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your wake, and we will check the date and send a price.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Plan seating for older guests
- Cater for a few more than you expect
- Ask the venue about the van
Give us a contact for the day who isn’t a close family member.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
