Sunningdale: your questions answered
Can the van park in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is Sunningdale close to London?
About 24 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What if we do not know numbers?
Start with a rough number, and we’ll plan with a little extra.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
