Throwley Forstal questions
How far is Throwley Forstal from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Throwley Forstal?
The closest is Selling station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Ask about your date.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
