FAQs for Bramshott Chase
How far is Bramshott Chase from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
