Boughton Lees questions
Do you come out to small places like Boughton Lees?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Boughton Lees from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
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.

How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you come to Boughton Lees?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Boughton Lees and the rest of Kent. For a quote, use our quote form.
Where the van can park in Boughton Lees

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
