Fresh fish and chips in Weybridge
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How our funeral and wake catering works in Weybridge
A wake needs warm, simple food. For many families, fish and chips is exactly that. For family gatherings after a burial or cremation and remembrance gatherings, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips and more.
Wakes in Weybridge are often at home or in a local hall. The van parks on the drive or in the car park. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Common questions in Weybridge
We are gathering after a service at United Reform Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Weybridge close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In winter, it’s dark in Weybridge by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
