Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Keep the serving time flexible

Photos or a memory book give people something to share.

FAQs for Middleton
Can the van park in Campbell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Middleton?
The closest is Bow Brickhill station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, that is common.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How do we estimate numbers?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Access wide and high enough for the van
