Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works at home or at a hall. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Windsor
Which station is closest to Windsor?
Windsor & Eton Central station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Windsor and Maidenhead. Find your area.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Windsor?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wake and we’ll send a quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We will agree a serving time and stay flexible.
How many people should we cater for?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
