About the food
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In summer, a wake in West Kingston has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
Getting a price
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from West Kingston
Do you come out to small places like West Kingston?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is West Kingston from London?
About 51 miles from central London.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
