How far is Great Milton from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.

Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
