Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Space to finish hot dishes
- Unloading access
- Space on each table
As a London location, Brasted Chart is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
