Planning for dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Confirm the van can park at the hall
  • Check the hall has an urn
  • Build in time for delays
  • Let someone else talk to us on the day

A friend or the funeral director can be our contact.

A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

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 you get to enjoy the day.

How we price fish and chips for the wake

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • The day of the week
  • The minimum booking
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • How many people are eating

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your wake, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Where the van would park
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • The date and time of the event

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Space, access and the venue

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Step by step

You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In autumn and winter, it is dark early in Stony Green; plan a lit path from the door to the van.

  1. The family or funeral director sends us the date, place and numbers.
  2. We check where the van can park and send a clear price.
  3. Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
  4. We serve calmly from the hatch when everyone is ready.
  5. We pack up when everyone has eaten and leave quietly.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Make sure the van can get in
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Common questions in Stony Green

Which station is closest to Stony Green?

The closest is Great Missenden station, roughly 2.1 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.

Do you do anything other than fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

What can guests choose from?

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

What areas do you cover?

Can you be flexible on the day?

Of course. We start when you’re ready.

Can the van park on grass?

Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

About the food
