Fresh fish and chips in Sun Rising
Funeral and wake catering in Sun Rising, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when people arrive. Typical bookings include gatherings after the committal and wakes at venues, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
In rural Sun Rising, home or the hall is usual. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Questions from Sun Rising
Is Sun Rising too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, many families prefer that.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in Sun Rising is about 7:10pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Plan for a few extra people
- Have chairs for those who need them
Remember the journey from the service.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
