Wakes in Frimley Green: venues and practical details
Frimley Green is about 1 mile south of Frimley, in Surrey. From the centre of Frimley Green to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fish and chips fried to order, served hot and quoted clearly. Frimley Green is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 8 miles away.
Families holding a service at Church of St Andrew often gather afterwards at a nearby hall, where the van can park.
For wakes in GU16 and GU14, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wake at a home on Cross Lane, Sturt Road and Beech Road, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to wakes in Frimley (1 mile north), Deepcut (1 mile north-east), Watchmoor (2 miles north-west), Camberley (2 miles north) and York Town (3 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Guildford (8 miles south-east), Woking (7 miles east), Farnham (7 miles south-west), Egham (12 miles north-east), Walton-on-Thames (15 miles east) and Staines-upon-Thames (13 miles north-east).
A little further out are Frimley Park Hospital (1.3 miles north) and Royal Army Dental Corps Historical Museum (2.4 miles south). The countryside around Frimley Green includes Danger Hill and Aunt's Pool.
- Nearby schools include Henry Tyndale School (0.6 miles west) and Sixth Form College (1.1 miles west)
- Local pubs include Prince of Wales pub (0.6 miles west)
- Other local spots include National Aerospace Library (1.7 miles south-west)
About our funeral and wake catering in Frimley Green
We understand that timings on the day can move, so we stay flexible. Whether it’s gatherings at home after a funeral and family meals after the service, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For a wake in a place like Frimley Green, the village hall is often the heart of it, and its car park suits the van. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Takeaway run or book a 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 is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Where the van can park in Frimley Green
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van

The closest is Farnborough North station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

Is short notice a problem?
Contact us as soon as you can. We’ll tell you straight away whether we’re available.
Do we need to provide anything?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In winter, it’s dark in Frimley Green by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
