Common questions in Lyndhurst
Which station is closest to Lyndhurst?
The closest is Ashurst New Forest station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot.
Do you cover Lyndhurst?

How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
