FAQs for Tingrith
Do you come out to small places like Tingrith?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Tingrith from London?
About 38 miles from central London.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you come every month?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Do you cover Tingrith?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Tingrith is within our area and the rest of Milton Keynes. For a quote, use our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
