From Redhill, Reigate and Earlswood to 8 villages and hamlets, bookings across RH2 range from town-centre sites to farmyards, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.

Reigate: After a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.
