Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Build in time for delays
- Have chairs for those who need them
We park quietly before guests return from the service.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Drayton Parslow
We are gathering after a service at Church of Holy Trinity: can you come?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Drayton Parslow from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is short notice a problem?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so send us the date and we’ll answer straight away.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
