Walton: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Thomas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Walton?
Bow Brickhill station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What if we do not know numbers?

Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you come to Walton?

Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your wake. We handle the cooking and serving. A wake in Walton in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A formal meal doesn’t always suit. A van keeps it relaxed. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
