Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot for evening service
- Away from emergency access
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
