Common questions in Wycombe Marsh
What’s the nearest station to Wycombe Marsh?
High Wycombe station, about 1.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Allow for the service running over
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
Remember the journey from the service when choosing a serving time.
Tea and coffee from the hall’s urn, or a friend’s tea table, goes well alongside.
What affects the price in Wycombe Marsh
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- How easy the site is to reach
- The minimum booking
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In winter, it’s dark in Wycombe Marsh by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We agree a time to arrive and when food should be ready, allowing for the service running over.
- On the day we set up quietly and serve when guests are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
