Bramshaw: halls, homes and travel
Bramshaw is about 5 miles west of Totton, in Hampshire. We cover Bramshaw as standard, so your wake just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. Bramshaw is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Bramshaw to Southampton (10 miles away).
For a service at a church like Church of St Peter, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests. Bramshaw is within about 6 miles of the New Forest National Park, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
Wherever your wake is in SO43, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Bramshaw sits on or near the B3079, so getting the van to your wake is simple. Nearby, we also serve wakes in Canada (2 miles north-east), Brook (2 miles south) and Wittensford (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Winchester (15 miles north-east), Eastleigh (12 miles east), Totton (5 miles east), Chandler's Ford (10 miles east), Hedge End (14 miles east) and Lymington (13 miles south).

Common questions in Bramshaw
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Bramshaw?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the wake be at home?
Frequently, yes. Send us a picture of the drive or the road outside.
How quickly can you come?
We understand the timescales, so ask and we will reply quickly.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
