Questions from Dippenhall
What’s the nearest station to Dippenhall?
Farnham station, about 1.8 miles east of the centre.
Can the van park in Underdown nature reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Count children separately
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Confirm allergies by email
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
