FAQs for Pitland Street
Could you trade in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Pitland Street from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before booking.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
