Lower North Dean questions
We’re gathering after a service at Speen Church (Baptist): can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Does a chip van work for big events?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
