Common questions in Sutton at Hone
Is Sutton at Hone close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Sutton at Hone too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
