For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. Typical bookings include boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas fairs and lights switch-ons, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In winter near Out Elmstead, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
