Frimley questions
How far is Frimley from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Peter's Church: can you come?
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.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Frimley?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not 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.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.

What else we do in Frimley
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Mention allergies you know about
Allow time for travel from the service, crematorium or burial ground.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
