If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How we price fish and chips for the wake
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In winter, it’s dark in Wecock Farm by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. A van takes that off your hands. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What you get with us

- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
