What’s the nearest station to Friar's Gate?
Eridge station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you bring everything you need?

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Flag any coeliac staff
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
