How we price fish and chips for the wake
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Warningcamp
It is an informal meal, which suits a wake where people move around and talk. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings at a village hall or club and remembrance gatherings.
In rural Warningcamp, home or the hall is usual. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
