Long Sutton questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Long Sutton from London?
About 41 miles from central London.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Allow a little extra
- Check the hall has an urn
- Allow for the service running over
- Choose a friend to be our contact
Give us a contact for the day who is not a close family member.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A spot near your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Planners, venues and businesses
