Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Loosley Row
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Loosley Row close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How much space do you need?
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.
How quickly can you come?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
