15 questions to ask before you book

Pease Pottage: your questions answered

Is Pease Pottage close to London?

Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Could you trade in Tilgate Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.

Can the van be part of the photos?

Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.

Do you have allergen information?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

Can you serve children?

Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

What happens if it rains?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Where can the van 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.
