For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Common questions in Langley Green
What’s the nearest station to Langley Green?

Can the van park in Grattons Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
What’s on the menu?
