Questions from Brattle
Is Brattle too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Brattle?
The closest is Appledore (Kent) station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Are visitors included?

Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Brattle.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
