After a funeral in Botley
Botley is about 1 mile east of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Wherever your wake is in Botley, we can bring the roaster, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. We cater all 263 towns and villages across Buckinghamshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Botley to Milton Keynes (about 24 miles away).
If the funeral is at a church such as St George's Church, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short. Botley is within about 6 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
We cover wakes in every part of HP5 and the streets around it. That could mean a wake in a garden on Botley Road, Broomstick Lane and Goose Acre, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. If your venue is just outside Botley, we also cover Tyler's Hill (1 mile south), Ley Hill (1 mile east), Lye Green (1 mile north), Orchard Leigh (1 mile north) and Ashley Green (2 miles north). We also serve nearby towns such as Aylesbury (13 miles north-west), High Wycombe (9 miles south-west), Marlow (13 miles south-west), Amersham (3 miles south-west), Beaconsfield (8 miles south-west) and Chalfont St Peter (7 miles south).
A little further out are Amersham Hospital (3.7 miles south-west) and Hawridge Court (3.1 miles north-west). Open spaces near Botley include Sands Bank.
- Schools near Botley include Chesham Grammar School (0.9 miles west)
- Pubs nearby include The Crown pub (within half a mile east)
What affects the price in Botley
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Any dietary needs or allergies
