Arranging a wake in Dunsfold
Dunsfold is about 9 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Dunsfold is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Dunsfold is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our bookings stretch from Dunsfold to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
For a service at a church like Church of St Mary and All Saints, choosing a wake venue nearby helps older guests. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Dunsfold, and rural venues there may have narrow lanes, so tell us about access.
For wakes in GU8, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wake at a home on Binhams Meadow, Dunsfold Common Road and Nugent Close, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. We also bring the van to wakes in Loxhill (1 mile north), Hascombe (2 miles north), Alfold Crossways (2 miles south-east), Elmbridge Village (2 miles north-east) and Grafham (3 miles north). Larger places within reach include Guildford (9 miles north), Woking (14 miles north), Farnham (12 miles north-west), Dorking (13 miles north-east), Frimley (15 miles north-west) and Haslemere (7 miles west).
A little further out are Milford Hospital (4.3 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Lower Lake and Hydon's Ball.
- Local pubs include The Sun Inn Public House (within half a mile south)

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a van gives everyone a hot meal, which helps when numbers are hard to predict. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In winter, it’s dark in Dunsfold by about 3:55pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
