Barnes Street questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Barnes Street?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Which station is closest to Barnes Street?
The closest is Beltring station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Barnes Street.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Tell us about the pitch
- Agree the terms in writing
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
For event organisers in Barnes Street
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
