Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In summer, a wake in Tyringham has light until about 9:25pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote

What affects the price in Tyringham
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
Each quote is put together for your wake. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Questions from Tyringham
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Tyringham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Do you cover Tyringham?
