Milton-next-Gravesend questions
How far is Milton-next-Gravesend from London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Do you cover Milton-next-Gravesend?
We do. We serve events in Milton-next-Gravesend and across Kent. Send us your date to check availability.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
