Questions from Ashurst Bridge
Can you serve near the sea around Ashurst Bridge?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van go 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 follow the site rules.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you cover Ashurst Bridge?
We do. Ashurst Bridge is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

For anyone getting the train home after the party, Totton station, about 1.5 miles east, is the nearest station. Ashurst Bridge is within about 4 miles of the New Forest National Park, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
