Funeral and wake catering in Wick, cooked to order
Services frequently run over, and we will work around the service and the family. For family gatherings after a burial or cremation and pub wakes, we can cook gravy, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
In Wick, the hall or the family home is a natural choice. Tell us about parking for the van. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Wick
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints: 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. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Wick?
Littlehampton station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Yes. We serve when people are ready.
How quickly can you come?
Get in touch as soon as you can. We will tell you right away whether we are available.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How many people should we cater for?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. A wake in Wick in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- It starts with the date, where the wake is and roughly how many.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- We park discreetly and fry fresh as people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Wick?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they don’t, or at home. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

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.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
