Common questions in Cooksbridge
What’s the nearest station to Cooksbridge?

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Evening food at a Cooksbridge wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
