Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In Monks Risborough, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
