FAQs for Tutts Clump
What’s the nearest station to Tutts Clump?
The closest is Aldermaston station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Is Tutts Clump close to London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Should I sort the food myself?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
