Common questions in Spurlands End
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Spurlands End?
Great Missenden station, about 2.3 miles north of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
