FAQs for Lower Bourne
We are gathering after a service at St Martin by the Green: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Lower Bourne from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How quickly can you come?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we will plan with a little extra.
What if timings change?
Of course. We serve when people are ready.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan seating for older guests
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
- Plan for a few extra people
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
