FAQs for Bryant's Bottom
Is Bryant's Bottom close to London?

Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
