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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Farncombe Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Of course. Add them to your numbers.

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?

What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
