Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?

Sandwiches are traditional at wakes. Hot food can be more welcome, especially in winter. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Prices and what affects them

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

How far we travel
Any minimum charge
Numbers
How easy the site is to reach

Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

What to tell us

You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:

Any dietary needs and allergies
Where the van would park
Where the event is
Anything awkward about the way in

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

Should I sort the food myself?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Wavendon questions

What’s the nearest station to Wavendon?

Woburn Sands station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.

Do you come out to small places like Wavendon?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

What if we do not know numbers?

A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.

Do you cover Wavendon?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Wavendon and the rest of Milton Keynes. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.

Can you come to the house?

Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

What if timings change?

Yes. We serve when people are ready.

Organising for someone else?

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

How it works

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Wavendon; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
