Five Oak Green: your questions answered
Is Five Oak Green close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in Foal Hurst Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
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 will send a quote.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
