Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Twineham Green
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we will firm it up nearer the day.

Is short notice a problem?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we will reply quickly.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
