Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Tandridge?
Godstone station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tandridge.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Generally most, not all. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
