Is Great Brickhill close to London?

Do you come out to small places like Great Brickhill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How many people should we cater for?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Your funeral director can help.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Great Brickhill?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In winter, it is dark in Great Brickhill by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
