Cadmore End: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Cadmore End?
Saunderton station, about 3.8 miles north-east of the centre.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
