Funeral and wake catering for Tattenham Corner events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Funeral and wake catering in Tattenham Corner, fried fresh
We keep it calm and simple. We arrive at the agreed time, park discreetly and serve when you are ready. Popular choices include cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re often booked for gatherings after the committal and wakes at venues.
In rural Tattenham Corner, home or the hall is usual, with the van in the yard or car park. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Questions from Tattenham Corner
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Tattenham Corner too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, many families prefer that.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if timings change?
Yes. We serve when people are ready.
