Common questions in Ibsley
Do you come out to small places like Ibsley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
When should we eat?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When should we book for December?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
