Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your wake. Late-December sunset in Terriers is about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- We start with a few details about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.

Common questions in Terriers
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns 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.
Which station is closest to Terriers?
High Wycombe station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
How do we estimate numbers?
It is hard to know, so a rough number is fine. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
