Common questions in Sittingbourne

Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Milton Creek Country Park?

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.

We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
