Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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.

Stokenchurch: halls, homes and travel
Stokenchurch is about 7 miles west of High Wycombe, in Buckinghamshire. We cover Stokenchurch as standard, so your wake just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Stokenchurch is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Stokenchurch to Reading (15 miles away).
After a service at Stokenchurch Methodist Church, a wake at a hall or home close by means less travelling for everyone. Stokenchurch is within about a mile of the Chilterns National Landscape, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
For wakes in HP14, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. From Collyer Road, Slade Road and Parrs Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. Neighbouring places where we serve wakes include Waterend (1 mile east), Bennett End (1 mile north-east), Sprig's Alley (1 mile north), Beacon's Bottom (2 miles east) and Horsleys Green (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Aylesbury (12 miles north), High Wycombe (7 miles east), Chesham (13 miles east), Marlow (8 miles south-east), Amersham (13 miles east) and Beaconsfield (11 miles east).
Green spaces nearby include Bald Hill and Yoesden.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In winter, it is dark in Stokenchurch 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.
- You get an access check and a quote, without fuss.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Make sure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we’ll reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
