Bramshott Chase is about 8 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Wherever your wake is in Bramshott Chase, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Bramshott Chase is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 13 miles away.
If the funeral is at a church such as Church of St Luke, a hall or home nearby keeps the journey to the wake short. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 2 miles of Bramshott Chase, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
This part of Surrey takes in GU26, so your wake can be anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Upper Hammer Lane, Old Bramshott Chase and Portsmouth Road, and a wake on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Autumn and winter afternoons in Bramshott Chase get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
