FAQs for Hangleton
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

How far is Hangleton from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
