Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For warm food after a funeral, fish and chips from a van works well in Wisborough Green. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Wisborough Green, it is dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Name a contact for the day who is not close family
Make sure older relatives can sit to eat.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
