Funeral and wake catering in Wyck, fried fresh
Wakes are rarely planned months ahead, so ask as soon as you have the date. Whether it’s remembrance gatherings and family gatherings after a burial or cremation, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
In rural Wyck, home or the hall is usual. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Where the van can park in Wyck
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A short walk from the party

Common questions in Wyck
How far is Wyck from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Wyck?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How quickly can you come?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so ask and we will reply quickly.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, many families prefer that.

- What the van needs: space, access, power

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
A favourite cake can be a lovely touch.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Wyck is about 7:05pm in late September and about 4:00pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or GU34 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
