Wyke questions
Do you come out to small places like Wyke?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Wyke close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, and there is less waste when numbers are uncertain. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Why Wyke hosts choose us

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. 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 is crisp.

What else we do in Wyke
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In winter, it is dark in Wyke by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
