Questions from Redford
Which station is closest to Redford?
The closest is Liphook station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
How far is Redford from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you serve wakes at home?
Yes, if there is somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we don’t know numbers?
A rough estimate is enough to start. Funeral directors can advise from experience.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Build in time for delays
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Confirm the van can park at the hall
