Fresh fish and chips in Underling Green
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Underling Green
It’s an informal meal, which suits a gathering where people mingle. We’re frequently asked to cater gatherings at home after a funeral and wakes at a pub or venue with outside space, serving gravy, pie and chips and cod and chips.
In rural Underling Green, home or the hall is usual. Everything is fried fresh at your wake, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
A chip van compared with other options
Preparing food yourself adds to a hard day. We do the cooking. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: tell us the basics about your wake, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer evenings in Underling Green stay light until about 9:15pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or TN12 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
