Standlake questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Standlake?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Standlake from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
