FAQs for Burntcommon
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Burntcommon close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Burntcommon.
Do you come to Burntcommon?
We do. Burntcommon is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What affects the price in Burntcommon
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- The day of the week
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
