Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Common questions in Sunninghill
Could you trade in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is Sunninghill close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How much does fish and chips for the wake cost in Sunninghill?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wake and we’ll send a quote.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you cover Sunninghill?
Yes, we do. Sunninghill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What if we don’t know numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
What if the service runs late?
We allow for it. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Allow for the service running over
- Plan seating for older guests
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
Seats for older guests near the hall or house help.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the wake.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
