FAQs for Broughton
What’s the nearest station to Broughton?
The closest is Woburn Sands station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at St Lawrence's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if we do not know numbers?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Your funeral director can help.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We are happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Late-December sunset in Broughton is about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
