How far is Chalfont St Giles from London?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
