Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Upper Halliford
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Upper Halliford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we will plan with a little extra.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
