How our funeral and wake catering works in Worth
Someone else can make the booking for you, so you have one less thing to do. Typical bookings include a favourite meal in someone’s memory and small family memorials, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
For a wake in a place like Worth, the village hall is frequently the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, a wake in Worth has light until about 9:20pm, while winter afternoons darken by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting near the door.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Preparing for the day

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Worth
What’s the nearest station to Worth?
Three Bridges station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Worth close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you cover Worth?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Worth. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes. We can work with whoever is helping you.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the van would park
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
