About our funeral and wake catering in Stuckton
Some families choose it because it was a loved one’s favourite, which makes it a fitting tribute. For a tribute meal and wakes at church halls and clubs, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a wake near Stuckton, a farmhouse or village hall often works well. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Stuckton: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Stuckton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you cover Stuckton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Stuckton is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Stuckton.
How quickly can you come?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Stuckton; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
