FAQs for Bullingstone
How far is Bullingstone from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Bullingstone?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Count families who are joining in
- Organise staff to carry food in
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.

We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
