Questions from Whiteley Village
Could you trade in West End Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you park at our house?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
