Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Cox Green
Can you serve after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Cox Green?
Maidenhead station, about 1.1 miles north-east of the centre.
How do we estimate numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy

- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Plan for a few extra people
- Plan seating for older guests
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
We start when you give the word, not to a rigid schedule.
A tea table run by a friend is a comfort.
