Ingrams Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Ingrams Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Ingrams Green close to London?
About 47 miles from central London.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes. Send us a picture of the drive or the road outside.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your wake?
