FAQs for Lacey Green
Can the van go 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.
Is Lacey Green close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you come to the house?
Yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
How do we estimate numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we will firm it up nearer the day.
Can our funeral director book for us?
Of course. We’re happy to deal with the funeral director or a family friend.
How quickly can you come?
Contact us as soon as you can. We’ll let you know quickly.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Where the van can park in Lacey Green
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
