Could you trade in Chislehurst Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.

It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
