Hedge End station, about 3.4 miles south-west of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
