Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Aldwick
What’s the nearest station to Aldwick?
Bognor Regis station, about 1.4 miles east of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at St Richard’s Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
