Funeral and wake catering for your wake in Sutton Green
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot when people arrive, after a long, cold day. Whether it’s remembering a loved one’s favourite food and village hall wakes, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In a small place like Sutton Green, a wake might be at home, in a barn or at the village hall. Let us know about access. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Numbers
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your wake, and we will check the date and send a price.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Plan for a few extra people
- Have chairs for those who need them
- Choose a friend to be our contact
- Use the funeral director’s experience on numbers
We start when you give the word, not to a rigid schedule.
A quiet room away from the crowd is a kindness.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

After a funeral in Sutton Green
Sutton Green is about 2 miles north of Guildford, in Surrey. Give us the address of your wake in Sutton Green, and we will plan access and set-up. Sutton Green is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van.
If the funeral is at a church such as All Souls' Church, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short. Sutton Green is within about 6 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
Wakes anywhere in GU4 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include Sutton Green Road, Foxes Path and Robin Hood Lane; a wake on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For wakes just outside Sutton Green, we cover Pyle Hill (1 mile north-west), Jacobs Well (1 mile south-west), Mayford (1 mile north), Send (1 mile north-east) and Burpham (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Woking (3 miles north), Camberley (8 miles north-west), Epsom (13 miles east), Farnham (11 miles south-west), Ewell (14 miles east) and Egham (10 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Woking Community Hospital (2.4 miles north) and Guildford Castle (3.3 miles south). Within reach you’ll find Papercourt Marshes and Pewley Hill.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Questions from Sutton Green
Is Sutton Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can someone else arrange it?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van come to Sutton Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Sutton Green is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
