Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Walton Court
How far is Walton Court from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Walton Court?
The closest is Aylesbury station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Can you cater a wake at short notice?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Making food yourself for a wake is a lot to take on. We do the cooking. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Occasions we serve in Walton Court
There’s little waste, because food is cooked to order.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- A wake at the family home
- Celebrations of life
- Village hall wakes
- Pub wakes
If the funeral is at a church such as Church of the Good Shepherd, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short.
What your quote should include
- When payment is due
- The van’s size and access needs
- What the price includes, item by item
- Any minimum charge
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
