Stonebridge Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Stonebridge Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Stonebridge Green?
Charing station, about 2.2 miles east of the centre.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What do we need to supply?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
