Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Access the van can manage
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Garden visits in Chertsey work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
