Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in for the van
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
Greenwich is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Check the spot with your manager
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.
Inviting families makes it even more special.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For planners, venues and organisers
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.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
