Funeral and wake catering for Teynham Street events
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 usually simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Teynham Street
The wake can be at home, at a village hall or club, or at a venue with space outside, wherever the van can park. For small family memorials and wakes at venues, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
In a small place like Teynham Street, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Tell us about lanes and the ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your wake, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wake.

Is Teynham Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is short notice a problem?
We understand the timescales, so send us the date and we will answer straight away.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
