Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Sedrup
Which station is closest to Sedrup?
The closest is Aylesbury station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We understand the timescales, so send us the date and we’ll answer right away.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
