Questions from Eversholt
Which station is closest to Eversholt?
Flitwick station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Allow a little extra
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Make sure older relatives can sit
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
We park quietly.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Sandwiches are traditional at wakes. A hot meal can be more comforting, especially in winter. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

- Bookings across Milton Keynes, including Eversholt
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Sunset in Eversholt is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:50pm in December; ensure older guests have a well-lit route to the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
