Upper Wield questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Upper Wield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you cover Upper Wield?
We do. We serve events in Upper Wield and across Hampshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you come to a street party?
