Little Milton: your questions answered
Is Little Milton close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Little Milton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we will reply quickly.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How long will the queue be?
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 service around it.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Allow a little extra
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Arrange tea and coffee separately
We start when you give the word, not to a rigid schedule.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In winter, it is dark in Little Milton by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
- We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
- We plan a flexible serving time around the service.
- We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
- When everyone has eaten, we clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
